As soon as I arrived at the mountain pass, I was greeted by a dense collection of beast corpses.

A rough estimate is that there are one or two hundred, to say the least.

These beasts vary in size, the most common being pheasants and hares, and boars or something.

There are also deer, tigers, and even the corpse of a water rhino monster.

"How do these corpses feel similar to the situation in the barracks, with no superficial scars?"

One of the guards spoke.

Xia Linyuan had also noticed this a long time ago.

"You go out first, and this king will go in alone and check it out."

"Lord Wang, this is too dangerous, let's let my subordinates and others in."

"No need, stand down."

With that, as soon as he stepped on a decent foot, the whole person directly rose into the air and flew towards the depths of the mountain col.

Flying in the sky, his four fields are more open, and this mountain col is not small.

What I saw just now was only a part of it, and there was still a lot of area inside.

At this time, among the woods and weeds inside, there were also animal corpses.

The further he went into the col, he noticed that the fragrance he had just smelled at the pass became more and more pronounced.

In this way, all his attention was on the scent.

However, he could only smell the smell, but he couldn't see anything related to the fragrance.

After a look, there is no big gain.

Just as he was about to return, the messenger stone around his waist shone brightly again.

"Fourth Emperor Brother, there is also an accident in Yanggu Pass in the north, you are tired and go over to take a look."

"Yanggu Pass?"

He was familiar with this place, he had been in the army for a while, and the first military camp he had settled in was the Yangguguan military camp, where he had stayed for two or three months.

I knew a lot of people, and when I heard that something was wrong over there, I quickly returned to the mountain pass.

"You continue to look for traces nearby, you must be careful when you enter the mountain pass, this king still has something to go to Yanggu Pass, what do you find to pass the message."

As soon as the few people below responded, he turned into a streamer and went straight to Yanggu Pass, which was only a hundred miles away.

When he came to the top of the Yangguguan military camp, his brows were furrowed at the moment.

The situation here is almost the same as the barracks just now, the barracks of 50,000 or 60,000 people do not move at all, and the silence is a little terrifying.

When he landed, his spiritual sense was released, and at this glance, his face sank.

Fifty or sixty thousand people were not spared, and the way of death was almost the same as the military camp just now, and everyone died inexplicably without making a little legal resistance with a smile.

Walking towards the main tent, as soon as he arrived at the door of the main tent, he smelled a faint fragrance again.

He immediately had a guess in his heart, and after carefully checking it, he didn't find anything special anywhere else except for the fragrance.

"Who the hell is it? What is the purpose of doing this? ”

At this time, apart from doubts, he was angry, extremely angry.

That's a full seventy or eighty thousand lives, all of them are soldiers who trained day and night to guard the checkpoints to protect the Great Summer, including some of his former comrades.

At this moment, standing in this dead and silent barracks, he was trembling all over, and his anger could no longer be suppressed.

However, at this moment, the messenger stone around his waist lit up again.

At this time, when he saw the messenger stone, he was a little scared, and he was afraid that something bad would come.

Fortunately, it was not the prince who sent the message in turn, but one of the secret guards he had left in the barracks over there.

They found some traces in the depths of the col.

He already had a basic understanding of the situation here, but he didn't stay long, and when he returned to the barracks over there, it was already dark.

The group settled in a small town near the barracks.

In the room, Xia Linyuan frowned and sat at the table, looking at the things that his subordinates brought out from the mountain col.

A pink rag with sporadic gray powder on it.

The powder was so fine that it looked like dust, and they probably wouldn't have noticed it if it had been placed anywhere else.

But at this time, the rag in front of him emitted an unusually strong fragrance.

It was the scent he smelled in the two barracks, and the source of this fragrance was these humble powders.

"Is it really poison? But what kind of poison is this? How can it be so powerful? ”

As soon as his bewildered muttering fell, there was a knock on the door of the room.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates are here with the most famous doctor in town."

"Come in."

The door opened, and a guard walked in from the outside with a gray-haired doctor.

"The grass people meet His Royal Highness."

"The old man doesn't have to be polite, come here, this king has something here, see if you can tell what kind of medicine it is."

The old doctor stood up cautiously, and as soon as he took two steps forward, he immediately smelled the fragrance.

His face changed drastically, and he stepped back and shouted.

"The king... Lord Wang, this is flattery..."

Before he could finish his next words, the whole person fell.

An extremely lewd smile appeared on the old man's face, and his hands waved wildly in the air, as if he was touching something.

Such a scene stunned Xia Linyuan and the secret guard.

By the time they had reacted, the old doctor was silent, with the same smile on his face as the sergeants in the barracks.

In just a few breaths, the old man died inexplicably in front of their eyes.

"It's... Lord Wang, be careful. ”

As soon as the dark guard reacted, he raised his hand and slapped the rags on the table away.

Xia Linyuan's reaction was not slow, at this time, seeing that the old doctor died so strangely, he also thought that the fragrance must be poisonous, and the moment the secret guard reminded him, he had already dodged away.

"It seems that we guessed correctly, the bizarre deaths of tens of thousands of sergeants in the two military camps this time have something to do with this fragrance, it seems that someone is going to do something to our Great Xia."

His face was very gloomy, and his eyes were full of horror.

The scene of the old doctor's sudden death just now shocked him a lot.

The toxicity of this fragrance is also full of fear, just now the old man only smelled a little, but he died in a few breaths.

If this thing is spread everywhere in Great Xia, then it is not allowed...

He didn't dare to think about it.

"You go and deal with this old gentleman's affairs, remember to treat it well, and explain that you have been treated with kindness."

"Yes."

The Dark Guard left with the old man's corpse.

Xia Linyuan was the only one left in the room, and his eyes looked at the rag again.

He was stunned just now, but now that he has calmed down, a trace of doubt has risen in his heart.

He had been keeping the rag by his side all along, and his guards had been with him until he returned, so why didn't they show signs of poisoning?

Judging from the speed at which the old man was poisoned to death just now, the toxicity of this fragrance should be very violent, but why didn't it have any effect on them?

Thinking of this, he walked over again to pick up the rag and carefully examined the gray powder on it.

"Flattering... What could it be? ”
