Not daring to think about it anymore, Lin Zuiliu hurriedly followed King Jing.

After several twists and turns, the two finally came to Pingdi Mountain.

The underground of the cold palace is as cool as a wilderness.

At this moment, King Jing and Lin Zuiliu are walking step by step, neatly dressed, which is in stark contrast to this underground environment.

King Jing waved his hand, and the oil lamp on the side immediately lit up, and the tension in Lin Zuiliu's heart eased a lot.

"Princess, please look ahead." King Jing made a gesture of please.

Lin Zuiliu followed King Jing's hand and looked forward cautiously.

Then the dim yellow light of the oil lamp flickered, and in the open space under the ground, there was a big cage next to each other!

Inside the cage! It's a living person!

"Cangjie!"

Lin Zuiliu's eyes fell on the cage in the center for the first time, and after seeing the people inside, she couldn't help but exclaim!

Cangjie, who was alive and well and talked back to her from time to time a few years ago, has now fallen into such a situation.

Unkempt and disheveled, King Jing sent people to clean the cage all day long. But Cangjie was clearly delirious, his whole body was lying on his back, and he looked a lot thinner.

"How could it be ......" Lin Zuiliu unconsciously took a few steps back.

"The one who is locked up next to Cangjie is his mother!" King Jing turned his gaze to the cage next to him and said with a sigh.

"It's all ...... Retribution in Southern Xinjiang......" King Jing said, and the corners of his mouth also pulled into a wry smile.

Hearing this, Lin Zuiliu was very puzzled in his heart.

Something happened in southern Xinjiang?

But since she came to southern Xinjiang, it has been a long time now, and for so long, why don't you feel the crisis and retribution that King Jing said about at all.

Lin Zuiliu couldn't figure it out herself, so she opened her mouth and directly told her doubts.

After hearing this, King Jing still sighed heavily, and then said: "The edge of the southern Xinjiang where the princess is located, the source of this crisis is my Jingwang Palace!" ”

King Jing's Palace?

Lin Zuiliu was even more puzzled.

Although she didn't know much about Gu worms, Mu regretted letting her read more books in those days, she read a lot of books about Gu worms, according to the books, in the face of Gu poison, this palace nobleman should be the safest group of talents.

Because the book said that Gu worms were originally moth worms born from grain decay, absorbing other substances and gradually mutating to form "Gu".

Gu worms were originally not poisonous, but the poison makers in southern Xinjiang accidentally discovered that this Gu worm would secrete a special substance when it was fighting, and then add a few herbs and put it in a closed container with Gu worms.

In only two days, the herbs could be taken out, and the special substance was also attached to the Gu worm. Poisonous! It's called Gu poison over there

There is no map of the Gu worm in the book, but it is said that the moth is generally yellowish-white, and after mutation, it is mostly dark gray.

And the severity of this Gu poison depends on the special substance secreted by that Gu worm when it fights!

Therefore, the poison maker often took two Gu worms to fight each other, and the winner used them to make poison.

A more patient poison maker will go through dozens of rounds of fighting to screen out the Gu worms that can make the best Gu poison!

Lin Zuiliu only saw these from the book, but she still didn't understand what King Jing meant.

"You also know that Gu poison is developing faster and faster, and it will soon be rumored to be the number one poison in southern Xinjiang! The folk also spread the method of making Gu poison. ”

"This Gu poison is varied, and the people are still so prevalent, how dare I fall behind in the Jingwang Palace?"

King Jing paused, spread his hands helplessly and continued: "It's not that I, King Jing, is competitive, it's just that if the royal family's Gu poison is not as good as the people, if the folk Gu poison is stolen by someone with a heart in the future, my Jingwang Palace, but I can't prevent it!" ”

Reasonable. Lin Zuiliu thought silently in his heart and nodded.

"Therefore, I have been secretly instructing Cangjie to take several famous poison makers from the Jingwang Palace to devote themselves to the study of Gu poison." King Jing said.

"So, Cang Jie has become like this......" The fog in front of Lin Zuiliu's eyes seemed to have been cleared a little.

"Nope." King Jing interrupted.

"This matter is far from being as simple as you think!"

King Jing's voice was very serious, which made Lin Zuiliu stunned when he heard it.

"At the beginning of last month, a group of people came to southern Xinjiang." King Jing took a deep breath and continued.

The dress of that group of people is obviously not from southern Xinjiang, and they look a little like Ximing's side.

In the land of Ximing barbarians, King Jing was afraid that that group of people would come to cause trouble, so he specially sent troops to secretly follow the people and pay attention to their every move.

What King Jing didn't expect was that those people were actually here to steal Gu!

In the palace of King Jing, when Dali Temple reported to King Jing, King Jing was dumbfounded.

After thinking about it, he made a decision that he now regrets very much.

He decided to personally interrogate the group of people who came from Ximing.

I didn't expect that this trial would be a big fool!

Those people said that they had mastered the best method of making Gu poison in their hands, and they went to southern Xinjiang just to bring a few back and spread them in Ximing.

And sincerely said that now that he was discovered by King Jing, he should be ashamed of himself, and he was willing to offer the best method, and only begged King Jing to let them go.

King Jing was speechless for a long time, the best Gu poison ...... Doesn't this coincide with my purpose all along?

Then interrogated for a while, King Jing agreed.

"Cangjie, no matter what, that Ximing is still a barbarian land, if there is any dissatisfaction in the middle of drug production, don't act rashly." Before King Jing left that day, he was still not at ease.

Thinking of the last words he said to Cang Jie that day, King Jing looked pained.

It's just a day later, and when King Jing came to Cangjie again the next day, he was already unconscious! Na Ximing and a few people are gone!

King Jing was furious and ordered the southern Xinjiang to be closed and a few people captured.

At the same time, Rao is King Jing, who doesn't know much about drugs, and he can also see that Cangjie has been poisoned!

The Imperial Doctor was in a hurry, but the Imperial Doctor shook his head and was helpless.

After a long silence, a physician said in a panic that the poison could only be controlled temporarily to save his life, but there was no antidote.

King Jing felt distraught, and returned to the room where Gu poison was studied again, and saw a small white jade bottle on Table Mountain, with a Gu hidden in the bottle and a note pressed.

The note reads:

The most poisonous Gu in Southern Xinjiang is no different from the Gu worm in this bottle, and Cangjie is the poison in his body. It is hard to expect this poison to be so terrible, and please be more careful.

King Jing is very painful, as a king, for the sake of southern Xinjiang and for the palace of King Jing, the more terrible and ferocious this poison is, the more he has to study it hard.

In order to prevent Cang Qing from becoming delirious and doing something stupid, King Jing could only lock him up in the house.

I never thought that this level was even more wrong.

Within a few days, Cangjie's maid and eunuch were poisoned one after another!

King Jing panicked and invited an old man who had a deep research on Gu poison among the people.

The old man carefully checked Cangjie's situation, looked at King Jing, and sighed heavily.

It turned out that the reason why the Gu poison in Cangjie's body was the strongest was because the poison was increasing in Cangjie's body!

Anyone who has close contact with Cangjie may be poisoned!

It's like that Gu worm has made a home on Cangqing's body and is constantly multiplying!

After listening to the old man's words, King Jing sat down on the stool.

He ordered Cang Jie and the others to be locked in the underground of the cold palace.

Because of the palpitations, and Cangjie's mother took him behind his back to visit Cangjie secretly, King Jing was angry and locked her up together.

And that's just the beginning.

King Jing always received notes from the first few people who were in Ximing in various ways.

Or it fell at the foot by chance, or it was hidden under the cup, or it was passed by arrows, or it was passed by pigeons.

As the note says, it is to persuade King Jing to kill Cang Jie and others, and use their corpses as research centers.

King Jing was reluctant in his heart.

The next note from Na Ximing and the others turned out to be that if King Jing is difficult to start, we are willing to serve him.

King Jing was even more panicked, he never wanted Cangjie's life.

Besides, all of this is due to himself.

I was worried all day long, and before I knew it, I was in this situation.

After listening to King Jing's words, Lin Zuiliu fell into his own contemplation.

"Since King Jing has seen Gu worms, what King Jing has seen, what Xi Ming said is the best, what is the difference between this one in my hand?" While speaking, Lin Zuiliu also took out the small black bottle again and looked at it, but he didn't open it.

King Jing hesitated, but still told the truth:

"There is no difference...... If it weren't for the fact that this vial was black and white, it would be exactly the same! ”

The poison in himself that day was actually the first poison in southern Xinjiang, or the most poisonous poison in southern Xinjiang?

Lin Zuiliu couldn't help but be shocked.

But why is there such a big difference between himself and Cangjie's reaction to poison?

Moreover, he did not infect others in the future.

These facts were like a fog, once again surrounding Lin Zuiliu.

"Presumably this is what you're looking for, the secret of Gu poison."

King Jing looked at Lin Zuiliu, who was thinking, and said a word.

Lin Zuiliu did not respond, but he did not deny it either.

She wanted to spy on the secret of the first poison in southern Xinjiang, but she didn't think that the things behind this were so responsible that King Jing was helpless.

It would be nice if Liao Luan was here, he was well-informed, and he fought with Ximing, and now he has recovered Ximing......

Unconsciously, Lin Zuiliu's mind thought of Liao Luan again.

Shaking her head, she hurriedly pulled her thoughts back on track.

"Can King Jing tell me the location of those three books?" I then brought someone along to take a closer look. Lin Zuiliu felt that this matter could not be delayed.

If this is placed in modern times, it is sloppily isolated like this, in case the transmission route is unexpected, then not only King Jing is very dangerous, but the entire palace of King Jing is in danger, and if it is more serious in time, southern Xinjiang will be over!

"Naturally, there is no problem," King Jing agreed, and then instructed, "but if you come, you must say hello to me before you prepare to go down." ”

King Jing was still worried that something would happen to Lin Zuiliu, he had already thought in his heart, although the life of the princess of Zhennan was very important, but if the situation developed to the point of uncontrollable, as a last resort, he would seal the entrance and hide Cangqing's life and the life of the princess of Zhennan together with the secret of the Gu poison and permanently hide it underground.

Therefore, as soon as Lin Zuiliu went, King Jing planned to guard at the door.
