Chapter 264: Poisoning
Not long after Qi Lichen left, he felt that there was another person behind him, he stopped slightly, and said backwards: "Come out, I know you're here." ”
Huang Xu immediately walked out of the hidden place, and the mountain road was empty, only the two of them.
"The prime minister has made a move today, you know?" Qi Lichen asked.
Huang Xu was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "The subordinates don't know about this matter, the prime minister just asked the subordinates to follow you, if you find any abnormal situation, report it immediately, what actions are there today, the subordinates don't know at all." ”
Qi Lichen nodded, "Get up, don't let others see it." ”
Huang Xu immediately stood up, hesitating, as if he was hesitating about something? It seems that it is useless to say it, so I haven't been able to say a word for a long time.
Qi Lichen couldn't help frowning when he saw his spitting appearance, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Huang Xu heard this, and then said: "Recently, the prime minister didn't know what to do, and he called many people out, and the subordinate level of this matter is too low, and he is not qualified to know." ”
Qi Lichen thought about it, probably to find the treasure, after all, if such a batch of wealth made him lose it like this, the prime minister, the old money fan, was probably unwilling.
He believes that there is no flaw in this matter, there is King Mujun, there are so many people in the rivers and lakes who participate in the place of this batch of treasures, where is it going? I'm afraid that no one can completely smooth out all the relationships and find out about it, even if it can be found out that it was the five princes who took away these treasures, I am afraid that by the time he learns the truth, the five princes have already arranged these treasures reasonably.
He didn't care very much, waved his hand and said: "Go with them, even if you want to investigate, you can't investigate anything, you are secretly monitoring the prime minister, and if there is any change, you will come to me immediately, without delay, you know?" ”
Huang Xu nodded, "This is still possible for subordinates." ”
"Let's go on, remember to pay more attention to the movements on the Prime Minister's side, if someone doesn't break the siege today, I'm afraid it will be another vicious battle, which will make people suspicious." Qi Lichen said lightly.
"It's the incompetence of subordinates." Huang Xu lowered his head and said with a very guilty look.
Qi Lichen waved his hand lightly and said: "He is an old fox, I am afraid that he will not be able to fight with him for long without high Taoism, and he will have to be defeated, so you must pay attention to hide yourself, don't do anything out of the ordinary, it is not easy to send you to the prime minister, now he is the only one by his side, when the prime minister plays cards, you will regain your freedom, you know?" ”
Huang Xu took a breath, although he was unwilling, he also knew that the betrayer was such a fate, maybe when he was in the Qingyu Pavilion in the past, the people in the Qingyu Pavilion would still treat themselves as brothers, but since the betrayal, he was the most lowly person in the Qingyu Pavilion.
A traitor, that's really spurned by everyone.
He just hopes that he can end all this as soon as possible and that he can have a free body in the future.
Huang Xu replied and retreated.
When he arrived at the inn, Qi Lichen had not rested, and the shopkeeper suddenly came to knock on the door and said, "Qi Gongzi, I sent a letter today and put it on the counter, you open the door, and I will give you the letter." ”
Qi Lichen felt a little strange, not many people knew about the fact that he lived here, how could someone send a letter to him?
Although he felt strange, he still opened the door, took the letter, and asked the shopkeeper, "Who sent this letter?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled, "Of course it was sent from the post station, and the letters were all sent by someone there, sir, you don't know about this?" ”
Qi Lichen smiled and shook his head, "I've only lived here for two days, and I haven't told anyone that I live here, I really don't know who gave me the letter, could it be that it was sent by mistake?" ”
"Is your name Qi Lichen?" The shopkeeper asked.
"yes, that's right." Qi Lichen said in a deep voice, there is not the slightest mistake in the name, so it should not be the wrong person, this letter is for him.
The shopkeeper smiled and clapped his hands, "Isn't that right, you are the only guest with the surname Qi in this inn, and you are the only one with this name, so you will never be mistaken, if there is nothing to do, I will go down and get busy first." ”
Qi Lichen sighed and nodded.
When he just wanted to open the letter, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, only the prime minister and the sixth prince Gu Xizhou knew about living here, if it was Gu Xizhou, I am afraid he would not use such a crepe method, besides, they had just met, why was there any need to write a letter?
I remembered that there was another person who would write a letter to herself, that was Xi Muyun, but she suddenly thought that when she came out, she would say goodbye without saying goodbye like that, she might hate herself for writing to herself again, and besides, he didn't know the address here, and it was definitely not a matter of the past two days to find out, so there was only one explanation left, this letter was sent by the prime minister.
He didn't want to act rashly, if he opened it casually, there might be something deadly inside.
But if the things written in it are very important, wouldn't it be a missed thing if you don't open them?
Qi Lichen thought about it carefully, and shouted loudly when he went out: "Can the shopkeeper bring me a bowl of oil?" ”
"Guest officer, you want raw oil, what do you want this oil for?" The shopkeeper poked his head out of the downstairs and asked with some confusion.
"Though you bring it, I have some scraps of silver for you here, and I shall consider it a bought." Qi Lichen said lightly.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he naturally had no reason to refuse, so he immediately packed a bowl of oil and brought it up, Qi Lichen gave him money, and then walked into the room.
If it is soaked in oil, the outer leather envelope paper will be more transparent, and you may be able to see the contents clearly.
He slowly soaked the letter in oil, waited for a while, and then took the letter out of the play, the outside was really soaked transparent, and you could see that there was no black ink ink in the things below, a white patch, and there were some shadows at the bottom, like powder or something.
It seems that his guess was correct, and this letter is a trap.
I don't know if the powder in this is poison or sweat medicine, but if he pours it, I'm afraid that someone outside will rush in and take him away, and this person is likely to be Huang Xu.
He took a deep breath, put the envelope aside, and called out in a deep voice, "Bai Bing." ”
Bai Bing immediately walked in from the guest room next to him, "Pavilion Master." ”
"It seems that the prime minister will not give up if he doesn't get this treasure, when you ask Bai Ze to send food to the five princes, tell him to be careful, don't let outsiders know about the existence of that batch of treasures, I think the prime minister still can't think of me cooperating with the five princes for the time being, but it's better to be careful in everything, after all, this treasure gives him a lot of room for manipulation, and it is very likely that he will bite back in the future." Qi Lichen took a deep breath, squinted his eyes and said, "By the way, when you go to deliver the news, ask someone to send a letter to Xi Muyun as well, saying that I am very good in the capital, but I can't go back for a long time, so let her not worry about me." ”
"This ......" Bai Bing hesitated for a long time before he said: Miss she...... I guess I'm going to blame you for not saying goodbye, now ......."
"I just want her not to worry." Qi Lichen sighed and said.
