Chapter 8: The Bitter Meat Scheme
Wan Yanba immediately put away his angry eyes and glanced at Leng Changxi with disdain: "It's just that I can't see the dog fighting people." ”
Leng Changxi smiled and didn't speak, looking at Maugham, whose sheepskin coat was dyed red most of the time under his feet, without the slightest mercy, he turned around and returned to Wan Yansu's back, but Beidi Great Khan's attention fell on this stranger who looked ugly but had outstanding skills, and said to Wan Yansu: "This distinguished guest next to you is very discerning, and he can find such a thin silver needle hidden by Maugham on his waist." ”
This sentence can be regarded as admiration or temptation, Wan Yansu saluted and replied to the Great Khan of Beidi very respectfully: "Tuoba Gongzi is indeed a little outstanding. ”
The regent glanced at the bloodstained Maugham coldly, and only ordered someone to drag him down, Maugham has not been working for the regent for a year or two, and Maugham's reputation is also such a competition, but it is a pity that the name is for a lifetime, and the name is only ruined for a while, Maugham is now not only dead, but even his reputation is ruined, and the regent is so eager to break off relations with Maugham, it is nothing more than to keep his innocence.
"It seems to be a bit disappointing today" The regent smiled brightly, but Qin Yunuan clearly felt his uneasiness from the regent's somewhat rapid pulse, "Brother Huang's body also looks a little bad, if not, rest for a while, and compare later." ”
Beidi Khan nodded, the ring has been swept away by the slaves without leaving a trace, and the people below did not expect the result they were waiting for to be like this, but fortunately, the regent was very good at calming people's hearts, and sent people down early to explain to the people.
Qin Yunuan looked at the regent through a layer of misty white veil, and watched the people of the regent persuade the people not to be in a hurry one by one, and had their own thoughts in their hearts, judging from the appearance of the eldest prince coming out for the regent just now, it can be concluded that the regent and the eldest prince are one faction, at least, not opposites, compared to the recklessness and quick temper of the great prince, the regent not only won the trust of the Great Khan of Beidi, but also won the hearts of his subordinates and even the people.
The regent is a more terrible person than the great prince, and what is even more terrifying is that the regent has never shown his desire and ambition for the throne, which makes the people and the Great Khan of Beidi trust him even more.
The most trusted are not necessarily the least ambitious, and they may also be the most hidden. For this day, Qin Yunuan was very clear in his heart.
There were a lot of people in the VIP seat, and the regent intimately arranged a song and dance in the ring, and the rough and atmospheric Beidi song and dance did not attract Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi, and Wan Yan Su was soon left alone in the seat on Wan Yan Su's side, drinking mare's milk wine alone.
In a secluded corner, four Beidi slaves were neatly wrapping the body of an adult man in an old cowhide, and a large pit had been dug next to it, and the four slaves threw the corpse into the pit, and quickly used a shovel to re-level the earth, and at the end, the new soil that had been filled in was trampled tightly, and the four of them should leave as soon as possible after finishing their work, but they were all reluctant to give up in front of this simple grave, and saluted the buried people under it in the way of the Beidi people, and then left;
And at the moment when these people left, several black-clothed people fell from the wall, and their purpose was this corpse.
-- I'm the dividing line --
The dim light made people drowsy, and the person on the bed had a thick white veil wrapped around his waist, and he had been asleep in a daze, as if he could never wake up again.
The room was sunny and a little damp, the door opened, and a woman in a black cloak slowly approached, glanced coldly at the man lying on the bed, frowned, and just turned sideways to the man who came in with her, "Woke him up." ”
A bucket of cold water came to his face, soaking through the placket of the man on the bed and the white veil that tied the wound, the cold stimulation of the wound made him sit up with a stir, his face was exposed to the orange sunset, this person was none other than Maugham who Leng Changxi had turned out in front of everyone.
"You're finally awake." The cloak woman took off her hat to cover her face, and a brightly lit candlestick was brought in.
Maugham on the bed looked at the person behind the woman in surprise, pointed at him and opened his mouth: "You are from Bocharzi, haven't you been poisoned?" ”
Qin Yunuan took off the cloak, sat down with a smile, and poured himself a cup of cold tea: "Maugham warrior, logically speaking, you should also be dead." ”
"Who are you?" Maugham looked at Qin Yunuan suspiciously, "You saved me?" Then, he denied his suspicions, "No, I remember that you are the person of the Four Princes, it was the ugly monster next to the Four Princes who stabbed me, you are in the same group as them, who are you?" ”
Qin Yunuan took a sip of tea, and the cool tea made her eyes clearer: "I am the one who designed to frame you, the one who killed you, and the one who saved you." ”
Maugham suddenly understood that this was a circle that had been designed a long time ago, and he Maugham was just a link in these tricks that was used.
Qin Yunuan didn't hide it from Maugham, she took out the silver needle on her waist, which was exactly the same as the one she found on Maugham's waist: "You really didn't plot against the warrior of Bocharji, the wound on his body was sent by someone to get it earlier, and the poison of Thunder Vine was only applied to the surface of his wound, Song Lian would not have thought at all when he checked that the wound inside was not infected with toxin at all, and the warrior's belt was used to wearing a magnet to protect himself, he only needed to hide the silver needle on his own magnet first, and when he fought with you." , will be attracted by the magnet on your body with a larger magnet, as for the injuries on your body? ”
Qin Yunuan glanced at Maugham: "Don't you know that although there is a lot of bleeding in the three inches under a person's ribs, it is not enough to cause death?" ”
"Why are you doing this?" If it had been normal, Maugham would have rushed up and tore Qin Yunuan to pieces, how could this woman play with him like this in applause.
"Because we need you." The corners of Qin Yunuan's mouth raised slightly, it was a slightly weird arc, and it seemed that Maugham didn't dare to act rashly, "But I can't let others know about our relationship, so I can only let you die first, by the way, explore the city of this regent, judging from his performance later, he is a very good prince and a very good opponent." ”
Maugham snorted coldly: "The prince is naturally powerful, in Beidi, no one dares to anger the prince, the prince loves the people like a son and is loyal." ”
"Don't say something against your will," Qin Yunuan glanced at Maugham with disdain, "If he really loves the people so much, how can he put a trick on you?" ”
Maugham was taken aback, and then obviously wanted to change the subject: "You haven't told me yet, who are you?" You are the man of the Four Princes, and he sent you to rob me? ”
In the face of Maugham's anger, Qin Yunuan only smiled shallowly, this smile was like a seven-colored flower quietly opening in the middle of the desert, which made people calm, but for Maugham, this was just a bigger provocation;
Maugham looked at Qin Yunuan, gritted his teeth, suddenly resisted the tearing pain of the wound, suddenly jumped up from the bed, stretched out his hand towards Qin Yunuan's neck and was about to pull it hard, the guards who had just protected Qin Yunuan had already retreated, at this time Qin Yunuan was alone, a weak woman, this seemed to be the best opportunity to raid, but it was interrupted by a hand that suddenly stretched out from the darkness.
This strong and powerful hand grabbed Maugham's outstretched right hand, and the thick wrist of the tea mouth was like a toothpick that could be easily broken in the crook of this arm, and in the dark, a man with an iron mask came out, Maugham recognized that this was the ugly monster named Tuoba next to the four princes.
"You guys!"
Qin Yunuan smiled calmly, when Leng Changxi was by her side, she never had to worry about her safety.
"I said it all, you have been poisoned, you have been poisoned, you have been three or four years, you know the regent, probably, three or four years."
Qin Yunuan's meaning is self-evident, but Maugham is still strong: "The prince won't." ”
"I said, you naturally don't believe it, but if the world's first drug master says it, do you believe it or not?"
Maugham was slightly stunned, Qin Yunuan had already turned around and invited another person to come out, dressed as a Central Plains person, but his facial features had a bit of the characteristics of the Beidi people, with deep eyes and a tall nose bridge, which portrayed the originally handsome face more three-dimensional and charming.
The person who came was very elegant, and it seemed that if he had been working under Qin Yunuan for a long time, he would be contaminated with Qin Yunuan's somewhat indifferent temperament.
"There is no clothing in the lower land."
Lu Wuyi, the descendant of the Lu family, is best at detoxification and poisoning, medical skills have no borders, and his reputation has spread all over the country.
Qin Yunuan smiled at Lu Wuyi, since Lu Wuyi escaped from the third prince Sima Rui, he successfully took the bag given to him by Qin Yunuan to go to the east of the city to find the Mandarin Duck who was already an ordinary person, since the Mandarin Duck personally took the talisman in the bag to Qingzhou, Lu Wuyi stayed in the courtyard on behalf of the Mandarin Duck to take care of the injured Man'er and Tingxue for a while, after the two recovered, the capital was also under the control of Sima Rui, Lu Wuyi knew that he could not stay longer, he had the experience of traveling around earlier, and he also had life experience in Beidi, When he first stepped into the territory of Beidi, he received a post from Wan Yansu, the fourth prince of Beidi.
Just when he was curious that he had never met the prince of Beidi and had no friendship, he knew that behind this post was Qin Yunuan, who had escaped from the tiger's mouth, you know, in the capital, it had long been spread wildly, and Leng Changxi, the first general of Great Qi, and his wife Qin Yunuan had already died in the fire.
And the reason why Lu Wuyi was tempted and decided to help Qin Yunuan to the end was the magical treasure in Qin Yunuan's mouth, he was not a person who loved money, but when he knew that if he found this treasure, he would have the opportunity to kill Daqi, take Sima Rui's life, and take revenge for his mentor Su Cheng, he agreed, and the reason why he was willing to go to great lengths to alleviate the Gu poison on his body for the Beidi man Maugham in front of him was that this Maugham was the key to finding the treasure.
