Chapter 21 Eat the Broken Intestine Grass
Qin Muyu got dressed and left the Qin Mansion, and he didn't know where to go in the middle of the night.
Du Yuyan secretly left tears in the room alone, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with both hands, and secretly vowed in her heart to let Liu Chunyan die without a place to be buried.
……
The streets of the capital are noisy with gongs and drums, and the sound of locks is deafening......
"These people don't look like we're Middle-earthers."
"It is said that the Khitan prince came to Beijing to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday."
The streets were lined with people, and there were people in the crowd who were talking.
"The Khitan prince is here." The guards in front of the Zhaoyang Palace shouted loudly, and the Khitan prince climbed the stairs and walked slowly towards the Zhaoyang Palace.
"See His Majesty the Emperor, long live Your Majesty." His Royal Highness the Khitan Prince said.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, please get up quickly, come from afar, and be fortunate along the way."
On the left and right of the Zhaoyang Palace, the Khitan prince and his entourage stood in the center.
The Khitan and the Celestial Empire fought for many years, and most of them ended with the Khitan cattle, sheep and horses given by the Celestial Empire, so the Khitan people did not look down on the Celestial Empire at all in their hearts, and as the Khitan prince, this arrogance was even stronger.
Lu Siguan usually does not go to the court on weekdays, but when he heard that the Khitan prince entered Beijing to face the saint, Lu Siguan deliberately went to the court with the emperor to prevent the Khitan prince from making any conspiracy.
The Khitan army has been looking down on the Celestial Empire for many years, and the Khitan prince must have come this time not just to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, Lu Siguan knew it in his heart.
"I heard that the heavens and the earth are vast, and I waited for a trip all the way from Yumen Pass to the capital, and I felt that it was nothing more than that." The Khitan prince said with a smile.
"The court laughed and despised the prestige of my heavenly dynasty, how can it be reasonable." Master Du scolded.
Hearing Lord Du's voice, all the courtiers also began to discuss, most of them accusing the Khitan prince of not understanding the etiquette of the Celestial Dynasty and behaving lightly in front of the emperor.
But the Khitan is now strong and strong, and the emperor is also afraid of this Khitan prince, he is unhappy in his heart, and his face is very ugly, but he does not dare to cure the crime of the Khitan prince.
"I'm not wrong, this is Lord Du, do you think what Prince Ben said is wrong? Since entering the customs, I have seen that the grasslands of the Central Plains are not as vast as the grasslands of my Khitan, the cattle and sheep of the Central Plains are not as strong as the cattle and sheep of my Khitan, and the people of the Central Plains are not as rich as the people of my Khitan......" the Khitan prince said sharply.
The words of the Khitan prince made the whole court speechless, and everyone looked at each other.
"The Khitan prince's words are wrong, the Celestial Empire has had a series of natural disasters in recent years, which has caused the people's families to have insufficient surplus food, and the cattle and sheep are also not full, so they are thinner." Lu Siguan stood up.
The Khitan prince looked Lu Siguan up and down, and then said, "I once heard that there is a capable person around the emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty, who knows astronomy and geography, it should be you." ”
It can be seen from the eyes of the Khitan prince that he did not take Lu Siguan in his eyes at all.
It's just that to Lu Siguan's surprise, the Khitan prince actually knew that there was such a person as him, and he had always been low-key in the court, and he generally did not participate in court politics and go to court.
"The Khitan prince knows a lot, and he even knows about it, it's a deep honor." Lu Siguan greeted the Khitan prince with a smile.
"Rumors are rumors after all, and when I see it today, it's just like that, and I can't see how capable I am."
Nine thousand years old heard the words of the Khitan prince on the side, smiled lightly, and looked calm, and seemed to be confident about everything that happened in the court.
Hearing what the Khitan prince said, the entourage also laughed after listening to it.
"Are the Khitans so blind? Do you know that there is an old saying that there is a saying outside the mountain that there are people outside you, but remember not to be blind, it is really a great blessing for my Celestial Empire to have a prince like you in Khitan. Lu Siguan said bluntly.
When the emperor heard what Lu Siguan said, a long-lost smile finally appeared on his face.
The Khitan prince just glanced at Lu Siguan lightly, "The eloquence is not bad, but I don't know if there is real talent and real learning." ”
"I am sparse and shallow in the next, and I guess that shallow knowledge in the next is not worth mentioning in front of the Khitan prince." Lu Siguan's tone was full of provocation, and the Khitan prince was a little unable to get off the stage.
"I'm not good at arguing with people, and I will compare my real skills with others." After speaking, the Khitan prince took out a small grass plant from his pocket.
"This kind of Khitan treasure, broken intestine grass, this thing is highly poisonous, but it is also a very rare antidote, I wonder if anyone in the Celestial Empire can use this thing?" The Khitan prince gestured to everyone with his hand to break the intestine grass.
When the ministers heard this, their faces immediately turned pale, and they all retreated, because everyone knew very well in their hearts that the poison of this Broken Intestine Grass was fierce.
Ordinary people can't find a way to save them for half an hour after taking the intestine breaking herb, and they will die of liver and intestines.
"What, no one can solve it? It seems that what I said is right, the Celestial Empire is not a big country with a lot of talents, and it is all exaggerated. ”
"Wait...... What's so hard about cracking your broken intestines? Lu Siguan stepped forward and looked at the prince's hand.
"Okay, you can try it, if you have the guts, eat this immediately, within half an hour you find the way to crack it, and it will be fine, and if you can't find it in half an hour, then ...... I won't give you an antidote, and even if someone like you gives you an antidote, it's a waste of food to save you. The Khitan prince handed his hand to Lu Siguan.
Lu Siguan took the Broken Intestine Grass and observed it for a moment, then immediately stuffed his hand into his mouth and swallowed it whole.
Some of the ministers clapped their hands and applauded, some were so frightened that their faces lost their faces, and some were secretly snickering on the sidelines.
At the moment when Lu Siguan ate the broken intestine grass, the emperor wanted to stop Lu Siguan, but he still hesitated, after all, at this time, it was about the dignity of the whole country of the Celestial Empire.
After eating the Broken Intestine Grass, Lu Siguan slowly walked to the Khitan prince and whispered in his ear, "I will find an antidote." ”
The Khitan prince just smiled meaningfully, but Lu Siguan didn't know that the broken intestine grass he had just eaten had been coated with two poisons, crane top red and peacock gall.
Broken intestine grass, crane top red, peacock gall, just take out one kind, you can kill people in an instant, not to mention the combination of three kinds of poison.
"Don't be in a hurry, we'll know the result in half an hour." The Khitan prince was confident about Lu Siguan's death, because he didn't have an antidote to the poison just now, or he didn't develop an antidote at all.
Lu Si looked at his face and stepped aside, "Then wait for half an hour, I have time to play with you." ”
As time slowly passed, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty held a heart, watching the incense in the incense burner in front of him go out, and the Khitan prince glanced at Lu Siguan on the side again.
Seeing that Lu Siguan was still standing aside with an unchanged face, the Khitan prince began to be a little anxious at this time, "Impossible, are you a human or a ghost." ”
The Khitan prince couldn't believe his eyes, because he had used that poison countless times just now, dealt with countless masters, and all of them died on this poison in the end, how could this Lu Siguan be the only one......
The Khitan prince approached Lu Siguan, looked up and down, and found that the Lu Siguan in front of him was really undamaged at all, and he could walk as usual.
The nine thousand years old in front of the court couldn't believe his eyes, and Lu Siguan didn't fall, which seemed to make him very disappointed.
"How, Prince? This half an hour has passed, and it's not good here, it seems that your Khitan treasures are just commonplace, how dare you laugh at me There is no one in the Celestial Empire. Lu Siguan rebuked loudly.
The arrogance of the Khitan prince was suppressed by Lu Siguan, and when he saw that there was such a capable person in the court of the Celestial Empire, he began to feel a little jealous in his heart.
"This king has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, the Celestial Empire is really full of talents, my Khitan is ashamed of myself, and I will say goodbye ......" The Khitan prince said and turned to leave.
When the Khitan prince returned to the post station, he was very depressed, but he was still puzzled, so he could only wait quietly for the next opportunity - the birthday of the queen mother.
After the Khitan prince left, the emperor rewarded Lu Siguan and withdrew from the court, and Lu Siguan just withdrew from the court, and spat blood.
In fact, he didn't find any antidote just now, he just used his extremely high internal force to suppress the toxins in his body, so that the toxins would not attack within half an hour.
Lu Siguan leaned on the edge of the wall, slowly sat down, and exercised his breath for a moment, but at this moment he heard the footsteps behind him.
Looking back, four or five black-clothed people rushed towards him with blades in their hands, and seeing that they were about to reach him, Lu Siguan supported his body with all his might.
With the last trace of internal force, he flew out of the palace with light power, and the man in black kept chasing after him.
Lu Siguan knew that he had nowhere else to go, and if he went out of the city to Leiyin Temple at this time, the distance was too far, and he would not be able to hold out for so long, and he would definitely die of poison halfway through.
A place immediately flashed in Lu Siguan's mind, he felt his body slowly become stiff, dragging his already stiff body and continuing to run.
"What's wrong with you, covered in blood?" Liu Chunyan looked at Lu Siguan who came from the door.
At this time, Liu Chunyan was feeding the fish in the courtyard, and when she heard the courtyard door being pushed open, she turned around and saw the scene in front of her.
"Hide me ......, ...... quickly, someone is chasing me." Lu Siguan fainted after saying these last few words.
Liu Chunyan tried her best to get Lu Siguan into the room and hide it, then turned around and came back to bolt the door.
He sat quietly in the room, looked at Lu Siguan, and waited for about a quarter of an hour to see that no killer was chasing him, so he was much more relieved.
So he put Lu Siguan on the bed and checked his pulse, Liu Chunyan was startled, "You are not dead yet, you are really fateful, but how can this Central Plains have such a strange poison." ”
Liu Chunyan has learned a lot of poison configurations from her master since she was a child, and she is very familiar with this intestine-breaking grass.
After bleeding Lu Siguan and feeding him some water, Lu Siguan's complexion looked much better, and Liu Chunyan sat down and wanted to rest.
I never thought that the door of the room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
