Chapter 140 Undercurrents are surging
"The production method of Meihu Seven Love Powder is cumbersome, it is usually poisoned with the help of the wind, and once this thing is exposed to the soil for too long, it will lose its medicinal properties, and it looks similar to ordinary soil."
After figuring out all this, Xia Linyuan's doubts were solved.
At least his initial guess was not wrong, it could cause so many strange deaths of the Great Xia soldiers, and only poisoning was the most convenient.
Due to the peculiarities of this thing, it is reasonable that he did not notice any abnormalities later.
But fortunately, this rag was found in the col, otherwise, he would not have thought that the other party was using this poison even if he wanted to break his head.
Let people die unconsciously in the sinking.
Although the poison and the method of killing people were solved, there were still some doubts in his heart that could not be solved.
Who is behind everything?
And what is the purpose?
And will he continue to do it?
The first thing he thought of was naturally Canghai Country.
Because this time the other party is targeting his army in Great Xia, ordinary enemies should not be involved in those people.
But on second thought, something seems to be wrong with this thing.
One of the most important medicinal herbs of Meihu Seven Love Powder is Seven Love Flowers.
It was only found in the southernmost land of Great Xia, and the Canghai Kingdom was located in the northernmost part of Great Xia, and if they wanted to go to the land of Black Xia, they had to go through Great Xia.
The two countries have been hostile to each other for many years, and each other's citizens are extremely hostile to each other, not to mention whether the people of the Canghai Country can break through the border, just talking about the Gu Wu clan in the land of Kurosawa, they can't let them set foot in the land of Kurosawa.
Although this Gu Wu clan lived in the land of Great Xia at the time, they were extremely hostile to outsiders.
"You know a little bit about the situation in Daxia, but I am afraid that they are the only ones who can target the army like this, why don't you let your junior brother help check it?"
Shen Xiao was also suspicious of Canghai Kingdom.
"Thank you for the reminder, then I'll go to my junior brother to help check it now."
......
Great Xia Royal City.
In the Prince's Mansion, Xia Linxun received the news from Xia Linyuan.
His face was also extremely solemn, and he was anxious at the moment to discuss this matter with the ministers he had pulled into his camp during this time.
Seventy or eighty thousand soldiers died, which is definitely a big deal.
Now that Xia Xuanlin can't go out of retreat, he, as the crown prince, naturally stands up to investigate and deal with it.
"Prince, this is too serious, or please ask Your Majesty to decide."
One of the ministers spoke.
"I'm afraid this won't work, Your Majesty can't go out of retreat now, according to the old minister, this is a deliberate attempt to test His Highness's ability."
"This matter must be solved by His Highness himself."
Listening to the different minds of the ministers below, Xia Linxun also pondered.
What he lacks most now is prestige, and if he wants to take over and become the king of Great Xia, he must show some ability and let the people below see it.
Otherwise, even if you sit on it, many people will not be convinced.
Especially those under King Yong.
During this period of time, the prince was in power, and these guys did a lot of trouble.
Every time there is King Yin, they are not so presumptuous, if there is no King Yin, the prince may be difficult to control alone.
Now that such a big thing is happening, it's easy to get caught and let go.
It's okay to be able to handle it, but if it can't be handled well, those guys are afraid that they will also seize this opportunity and fight back fiercely.
In the end, the prince chose to deal with it himself.
These ministers don't know the current situation of the royal family, but he knows very well that Xia Xuanlin is now equivalent to a virtual shell.
Retreat may just be a step he has found for himself.
Although he did not ascend the throne, the affairs of the kingdom were already in his hands.
Naturally, it was impossible to ask Xia Xuanlin for help.
At the same time, on the other side of the royal city, the ministers of King Yong's faction were also gathering.
The things they discussed were exactly the opposite of what Xia Linxun discussed with them.
The prince is thinking about how to deal with this matter, and these people are thinking about how to make this matter bigger, and it is better to make it known to everyone.
Anyway, it's all kinds of blockages for the prince.
No, the next day, a piece of news spread in the streets and alleys of Wangcheng and among the restaurants.
Everyone who heard it was in an uproar.
There is horror, there is disbelief, and of course more of the latter.
But even so, it was enough to make the prince anxious.
In the early dynasty, he was furious, but the people of King Yong's faction were pressing step by step.
Without Xia Linyuan in charge, these people did not give the prince face at all.
Although there are people on his side to help, the power of King Yong is too great.
In the end, the foundation is too shallow.
It's impossible to get rid of all of them.
In the end, he had to arrange for someone to investigate.
......
Qingyuan, Yang Wenjin heard Xia Zhu say the rumors outside today, and was slightly stunned at first.
Immediately, he also reacted, knowing that this was a ghost caused by the remnants of King Yong.
"It seems that this King Yong is still a little unwilling."
She doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the country, but she won't see King Yong gain power.
"Qiuyue, you go and call Pang Jue over."
Qiuyue left in response, and not long after, Pang Jue came to Qingyuan.
"You've heard all about the rumors outside today, right?"
"Yes, the old slave has heard about it."
Yang Wenjin nodded and continued; "Arrange for someone to find out who sent the news."
"The old slave will do it."
Although Pang Jue was surprised, he didn't ask too much, and immediately turned around to arrange someone to investigate.
"Princess, why did you suddenly remember to care about these things? You weren't all before..."
Xia Zhu was also surprised.
In her cognition, Yang Wenjin will never be involved in these things, or as long as it doesn't involve her, she won't care.
"It's just that I don't want King Yong to gain power, so I finally got this guy away, and if I run back, it will be a trouble for King Yin's Mansion."
"Besides, this matter is related to the prince, and it doesn't hurt to help a gang."
"That's right."
It wasn't until the evening that news came from Pang Jue's side, and sure enough, as she guessed, this time the rumor was that the people of King Yong's faction were making ghosts again.
"You go to the Prince's Mansion again and tell His Royal Highness the news about this."
Pang Jue left in response, and came to the door of the prince's mansion after a short time.
"Your Highness, the housekeeper Pang Jue of the Yinwang Mansion is asking to see you outside."
"Please come in."
Today's Xia Linxun sat alone in the main hall and pondered for a day since the next dynasty.
"Old slave, meet His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Steward Pang doesn't have to be polite, I don't know what happened to you here?"
Pang Jue didn't talk nonsense, and directly told Yang Wenjin what he had explained.
"Take this king to say thank you to the princess."
"Yes, the old slave has taken his leave."
"Walk slowly."
Watching Pang Jue leave, Xia Linxun's eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He suffered a lot of anger in the court this morning, and since he came back, he has been thinking about how to investigate and deal with this matter.
I didn't think much about the person who broke the news, and now the Yinwang Mansion has brought the news.
That's just a good time to deal with it first, and give yourself a smooth ride first.
