Yu Yue ran in front of us and suddenly stopped, I looked at Duan Ming and Sa Rong with some surprise, and sure enough, I saw that they both had a look of surprise, surprised by the news brought by Yu Yue, and suspicious of Yu Yue's concern for me that could not be concealed more and more.

He looked at me breathlessly for a long time, and only then did he notice that the Ji Banner Master and Duan Deputy Flag Master were also on the side. embarrassedly wiped a layer of cold sweat on his tightly knit brow, and knelt down silently.

With my eyes moving downward, I was horrified to see that the eunuch who was getting more and more painful suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, kicked his feet weakly a few times, and then swallowed.

“… Gong Wei wants to kill me? ”

"That's right, and the third prince didn't use the epidemic to kill you, but to get rid of you and create this epidemic!"

"- Create an epidemic?" Duan Ming's eyes widened in shock, "Do you say that this is not the epidemic in Karzhou, but artificially spread?" ”

"It's not spreading, it's manufacturing!" Yu Yue lost his voice and said, "My subordinates saw with their own eyes that he recently secretly met with a pharmacist Zhu from Shancheng in the south to ask for a poison prescription, and then dispensed the medicine according to the prescription in the mansion, and after the dispensing, the medicine was put into a well in Xishi, and a few days later, the people who had used the well water all had symptoms!" ”

"Pharmacist Zhu..."Sarong said in a solemn voice, "but Zhu Yutang of the Five Immortals Sect?" ”

"Exactly!"

"Who is that?"

"Zhu Yutang is the half-brother of the first generation of the Five Immortals Sect in Shanxian City, and his Gu refining and poison making skills are unparalleled in the world, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called poison immortals." Sarong frowned, as if he was extremely nervous, "Shanxian City is located in the relic realm of the ancient Nanzhao, with snakes and insects everywhere and poisonous weeds. Its native sect, the Five Immortals Sect, is the first poison sect in the rivers and lakes, and the Tail Sect has repeatedly attacked it for a hundred years, and it was not until the period of the former Gangfeng Banner Lord Yu Xi Heavenly King that it was annihilated in one fell swoop. ”

"I also know a little bit about Zhu Yutang." Duan Ming continued, "When Zhu Yumo, the first leader of the Five Immortals Sect, passed the position of sect leader to his son before he died, Zhu Yutang left the sect in anger and disappeared from the sect. But it is said that he is a figure of the same generation as Qiu Weng, during the reign of Gangfeng Banner Bai Shayu, the major sects in the rivers and lakes, and all the masters were slaughtered, how could he save his life and appear in Kazhou more than ten years later, for the use of the three princes of the heartfelt country? ”

"Who knows what kind of heart that old immortal is! I only know that if this epidemic is a poisonous vaccine made by him, then Kazhou will be in trouble! Sarong said hatefully, "Yuyue, do you know where he is hiding now?" ”

"Oh... Subordinates know. Unexpectedly, Sarong would suddenly ask, relieved himself and continued: "The subordinates not only know where Zhu Yutang is staying, but also know the residence of the person who connects with him!" ”

"The one who connects? Do you say the people of the palace curtains? ”

"Yes, my subordinates have seen her meet with Lin Yutang's medicine boy, and followed her all the way to the residence." Yu Yue said to me, "That woman was originally from the palace of the county of Zhu, thinking that the third prince was afraid of showing his feet, so he asked the fourth prince to arrange everything for him. It's just that the woman is not very sophisticated and cautious, but she is a high-pitched and high-voiced girl, which is very eye-catching and easy to track. ”

My heart tightened, and my voice suddenly rose a little: "-Loud voice? Do you remember what she looked like! ”

Yu Yue didn't expect me to ask this question, and tried to remember and said slowly, "My subordinates have always turned their backs to her, and I don't care about her appearance. I only vaguely remember that she is small, with a small melon seed face, and she looks very beautiful. ”

I was almost so shocked that I couldn't breathe - according to Yueyue's description, that woman was as characteristic as Shui Qing!

"Gui Hotaru? What's wrong with you......"

"What..."I came to my senses when I heard Sarong's call, and excitedly grabbed Duan Ming and her hands, "We have to go to the palace of the prince, I'm going to find that woman!" ”

"The Mansion of the Emperor of the Prefecture..."Duan Ming was confused, "Isn't it necessary to bring these poisonous meals into the palace to report the three princes to the emperor?" ”

"We put down the guards in the palace and killed a eunuch, and now when we return to the palace, we will only be thought by the emperor that Gui Hotaru himself poisoned the food and framed the three princes." Sarong analyzed slowly, turned his head to me, and said, "We really have to go to the palace of the county to get the poison prescription for the epidemic, but Gui Ying, before that, we have to go and catch Zhu Yutang and force him to hand over the antidote to the plague." ”

"What's the urgency to catch Zhu Yutang, he is alive, can he still disappear!" I said impatiently, "Besides, with your medical skills, why worry about not being able to make an antidote to the poison of the plague." ”

"Do you think I am an immortal? That's the poison recipe of the poison fairy! Sarong smiled, "Although he won't disappear, there is no guarantee that he will not get news after we break into the palace of the king." If he runs away at that time, where will you have someone to testify against the three princes? ”

"I don't care about the palace curtains, and I don't care about Zhu Yutang!" I was so anxious that I almost burst into tears, "Sarong, you don't understand, the person who contacted Zhu Yutang for Gong Hao may be my friend Shui Qing!" ”

"-Of course I understand, and I'm not stupid, I guessed it when you asked Yu Yue about the woman's appearance." Sarong said in a deep voice, "Gui Ying, calm down, I know you did all this to find her." It's just that now that Kazhou has been turned upside down by the remnants of the Five Immortals Sect, I, as the owner of the Feiyan Banner of the Tail Sect, should report to Lingguang Mountain. At that time, the sect leader will get the news, and I'm afraid that you, the Gangfeng Banner Leader, will be the first to be questioned! ”

"yes, return to Hotaru... Not to mention that the killing of the remnants of paganism is the top priority of our Gangfeng Banner. According to what Yu Yue said, the three princes asked Zhu Yutang to make the epidemic poison in order to get rid of you. At present, countless people in Karju are suffering from the plague, and we should not stand idly by! Duan Ming also pulled me over and said sincerely, "If you want to go to the palace of the county to recognize people, I will accompany you." It's just that even if you want to act, you have to wait until night! ”

The fire that had just sprung up in my heart slowly extinguished, and I let go of the hand that was clenching Duan Ming and Sarong, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"It's because I'm not thoughtful, so I'll go to arrest Zhu Yutang first, and then go to the palace of the county to recognize people." I'm still a little depressed, "Yu Yue, tell me the specific location, and you should continue to go back to the palace curtain and listen to the news for me." ”

"Yes, then Zhu Yutang is now hiding in the small medical hall on Wudao Green Willow Street outside the West Market." Yu Yue waved at me, "As for the Wangfu of the county, the subordinates can't say clearly, so let's go with the flag master at night and lead the way." ”

"You can know these things about the third prince today, naturally because you have become his confidant on weekdays." Duan Ming showed a worried look, "If that's the case, wouldn't you put yourself in danger if you come out more often?" ”

Yu Yue flashed her eyelashes, and a square face showed a rare look of shame, "Thank you for the deputy flag master's concern, my subordinates know it... If nothing else, the subordinates will go home first. ”

"Well, be careful, we'll see you in the evening."

Yu Yue nodded to Duan Ming, bowed to me and Sarong one by one, and flew away with light skills. The three of us cleaned up the small courtyard of the other garden, and then rushed into the city and rushed to the West Market. When we arrived at Green Willow Street, it was already dusk.

In order to prevent Zhu Yutang from using poison, we all held our breath and hid our faces. However, when he broke into the medical hall, except for a medicine boy in the backyard drying medicinal herbs, there were still other people in the entire medical hall.

"-Say, where is Zhu Yutang?"

Duan Ming flipped the medicine boy to the ground in three or two moves, and raised his sword and pointed it at his front door.

"What Lin Yutang... The tutor is just—"

Sarong couldn't help but say, and pulled out the jade sword with lightning speed, and tapped it at the medicine boy's thigh. Blood was gushing out, and I was a little surprised to find that it was a pale red. The medicine boy was stunned for a moment, and when he felt the pain, he howled and cried, and without anyone asking, he said it like shaking a rice bag.

"Several masters spared their lives, and the family teacher was taken away by Miss Pei from the Wangfu of the county yesterday. The prescription is also in the hands of Miss Pei, the master entered the house to refine the medicine, although the villain also took a hand, but it was just some heavy work of adding firewood and transporting medicine, and I didn't know the content of the prescription, and asked a few masters to spare their lives! ”

"Miss Pei..."I excitedly pulled Duan Ming and whispered, "It's really Shuiqing!" ”

"What does that Pei girl look like, when did she take your master away, and what did your master explain to you before leaving?" Sarong waved the jade sword that was soft as white and said fiercely, "You have practiced medicine with your master in the mansion, how can you blindly not remember it, if you dare to lie, be careful of your other leg!" ”

"Woman... Spare me! Master has always refused to reveal half of the inside story to me when he does things for the four princes, I really don't know anything! ”

"—lie!"

Sarong swung his sword again, but it struck at Shicai's pale red blood wound. This time the force was even more violent, and the blood splashed straight up, and the muscles and bones appeared immediately. The medicine boy looked at his legs, which were exposed to white bones, and fainted with a strange scream.

"Waste. I'll have to take him back to the Peach Sale House and interrogate him again. Sarong withdrew his sword back to his waist, "His blood is also strange, I have to ask to understand." Let's go our separate ways, I'll go back to Taopinlou to ask, and you go to the palace to find someone. ”

It was agreed that we would leave the hospital.

Walking to the East Market, Sarong took the medicine boy that Duan Ming was carrying on his shoulder, and went to the direction of Peach Blossom Street on his own. After separating from her, my mind was a little quieter—Gong Yu took Zhu Yutang away, and he must have expected that I might find out about him. Based on this inference, my coming to the palace of the county is bound to be in his calculations. If this is the case, will it be a trick to invite you into the urn?

When I arrived in front of the palace of the county of Shidao in the east market, it was already dark. Duan Ming and I saw Yu Yue standing in front of the tall Zhutong Mansion in black clothes, his brows tightened, and he seemed to be very nervous.

"Banner master, my subordinates originally guessed that the fourth prince deliberately led you here to steal the poison prescription." Yu Yue greeted in a low voice, "It's just that since my subordinates came here half an hour, all the doors of the Wangfu of the county are tightly closed, does this mean..."

"-It means that there is really something here that he doesn't want me to find out, Gong Hao panicked." I excitedly said, "He brought Zhu Yutang away before, not because he expected that I would find him, but for some other ulterior reason. On this trip, we may not only be able to find Shui Qing, but also find Zhu Yutang, who wants to come up with a prescription for treating the epidemic. ”

"It's just... How do we get in? ”

As soon as Duan Ming's words fell, the gate of the Lujun Palace, which was in front of us, slowly opened from the inside. Under my astonished gaze, the axe slowly stepped out of the darkness inside the door.
