Chapter 173: "Lingering"
Looking at the entire Western Chu court, I am afraid that the only one who can compete with the Northern Underworld is the Northern Underworld.
"Not bad!" didn't deny it, Gu Yufei said bluntly: "Bei Yingyi is indeed an uncertain factor that is difficult to put in the plan, so in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, we need to borrow the troops in the hands of the prince!" ”
"Whether it's the royal brother or the third brother, at least the blood flowing in the body is the blood of the Beiming family, even if the country changes hands, it won't be your turn to take care of the family, why do you think this king will agree to cooperate with you?"
"My son knows that the prince will not agree easily, but this time, I'm afraid I can't help the prince!" A gleam flashed in his eyes, and Gu Yufei said, with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth.
Bei Mingchen suddenly felt very uncomfortable all over his body, his brows were furrowed, he gritted his teeth and said, "What did you do to this king?" ”
"It's just an extra spice added to your food every day!" Gu Yufei chuckled, "Father is really far-sighted, and he was ready for today early in the morning!" ”
"Do you know what kind of poison you have?" Raising his eyebrows, Gu Yufei asked the man in addition, seeing that he didn't respond, after a while, Gu Yufei replied to himself: "Lingering!" ”
"Despicable!" Staring at the person in front of him, Bei Mingchen scolded angrily.
"Lingering", what a poetic name it sounds, and this poison is just as poisonous as its name, never abandoned, lingering for a lifetime, until death.
The poison of "lingering" came from the hands of a top drug master in the Western Regions a hundred years ago, and the main purpose of using this poison is not to kill people, but to control those who take poison.
At the time of development, the top drug master had never thought of formulating an antidote once and for all, so the "lingering" antidote could only temporarily alleviate the toxicity.
The lingering poison will attack once every half a month, and every time it attacks, it will be like a thousand insects devouring the heart, making people feel painful, and this pain will last for a full twelve hours!
However, as long as you take the antidote to alleviate the toxicity on time, you can avoid the poison, and when the toxicity does not occur, the poisoned person looks no different from ordinary people.
However, if the antidote is not used all the time, the frequency of poison will become higher and higher, and the pain of each attack will accumulate exponentially, and over time, the internal organs of the human body will gradually fail and die under the erosion of poison.
From poison to death, the whole process is extremely long, if there is no antidote to alleviate the toxicity, the taste, for the poisoned person, it can be said that life is worse than death.
"It's not been a day or two since we dealt with each other, the prince should know that this son has never been a decent man, as long as he can achieve the goal, this son can do whatever it takes!" Gu Yufei said disappreliantly.
Although Bei Yingchen was well hidden, he still couldn't hide it from Gu Shichong's eyes after all, and he saw the man's ability early on, so Gu Shichong pressed the treasure on his body at the beginning.
Poisoning and control, in order to use it for his own use at a critical time, Gu Shichong's plan is really clever.
Because a character like Bei Yingchen, if he can't be used by him, he will become a threat in turn, and if so, then he can only be eliminated.
"The 'lingering' poison on the prince's body should be the last dose left in this world, maybe the prince should feel lucky!" After thinking about it, Gu Yufei added with a wicked smile.
The formula of "lingering" is extremely complex, since the death of the master of drug production in the Western Regions, no one has been able to develop it, and for a hundred years, "lingering" has basically disappeared from the world.
"So, this king still wants to thank Gu Xiang and Brother Gu for their appreciation and love?" raised his eyebrows, and Bei Mingchen sneered.
"The development of a country needs a talented person like the prince, as long as the prince can be used by the Gu family, my son can protect the prince for a lifetime!"
"It's better to die than to live, not to mention, the pain of the 'lingering' attack is far beyond imagination, the prince is a smart man, he is wise to protect himself, to be the king of the hegemonic side, or to lose his life for the throne, this son believes that the prince knows how to choose!"
"Antidote!" The pain on his body became clearer and clearer, and Bei Mingchen spit out two words to Gu Yufei with difficulty, the so-called stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, as long as you can live, everything will still have a chance.
"Lord Wang, did you agree to cooperate with the Gu family?"
"Does this king have any other choice?" The voice was cold, and Bei Mingchen asked without answering.
"My son knows that the prince will definitely make the right choice!" Gu Yufei smiled evilly, and as he spoke, he took out a black pill from his arms and handed it to Bei Yingchen's hand.
"Take the antidote every half a month before the poison, the prince's body can be safe and sound, as long as the prince cooperates well, the antidote after that, my son will send someone to Su Zixi's hands in advance!"
"Happy working together!" patted the man's shoulder, and after Gu Yufei's voice fell, he evacuated with all his people.
Taking the antidote, Bei Mingchen's symptoms were quickly alleviated, and he raised his eyes to gaze at the departing group of guards, his dark eyes flashing with bottomless depth.
About a month after the Spring Festival in the Central Plains, it happened to be another great harvest of tea in the Moonset Country, and dozens of large merchant ships were mobilized, and the Gu family began the second large-scale transportation of goods from the Moonset Country.
The big ships nominally transported tea and silk, but the actual contents inside had changed.
The iron tools brought back before were enough, but this time, there were gunpowder and people hidden on the merchant ship, all of whom were elite warriors borrowed from Yueluo by Gu Shichong in secret collusion with Yueluo.
The Fen River was originally under the jurisdiction of the Northern Underworld, but now, he is controlled by the Gu family, and he no longer cares about the water transportation of the Fen River, and allows the Gu family father and son to transport their so-called trade "goods".
Since the poison, Bei Mingchen has spent all day drinking, not doing business, and even going to the morning court, at first, He Muwan only thought that he was to confuse outsiders, but after nearly a month, she always felt that something was wrong.
With her understanding of men in getting along, she knew that he was not a tyrant like the rumors, but for some reason, He Muwan decided to ask tentatively.
Because on the night of the New Year, after the two chatted, He Muwan regarded the man as a comrade-in-arms against the Gu family, she wanted to know more about the situation, and she could provide some help as much as she could.
"Northern Dust!" Running into the man's study, He Muwan found Su Zixi sitting in the man's arms, and the two of them looked affectionate.
The footsteps immediately stopped in place, and the words in He Muwan's mouth stopped abruptly, and just when she was in a dilemma, she found that the two of them raised their eyes and looked at them at the same time.
