Chapter 203: The Trap
Xiao Yu thought about it, now it turns out that there are few people in Beiqiang who are available, and masters like Yue Gongzi are even rarer, but I don't know if I can believe it or not, if I send ordinary people to collect medicine, I am afraid that I will only have to die.
Xiao Yu said with a sad face: "That...... That ......", before she could say it, Yue Gongzi had already made up her mind and said: "Let's go, things are like this, I also have a little responsibility, you write me where those medicinal materials are, there is no delay, I will set off immediately!" ”
Xiao Yu bit her lip and stopped stopping her, she knew that once Yue Gongzi decided something, it could not be changed, not to mention that Murong Hua's matter could not be delayed any longer.
She hurriedly wrote down a few places where the medicinal herbs might appear to Yue Gongzi, and Fang pulled Yue Gongzi's sleeve and said, "You...... You must ...... Come back safely! Murong Hua's life is on the verge of death, Xiao Yu doesn't want Yue Gongzi to have an accident too!
Yue Gongzi nodded and said: "Don't worry, I still have a group of people under me, and when the time comes, we will act separately, and it will definitely be in time!" ”
Xiao Yu saw that the moon boy was not acting alone, and Fang was slightly relieved. At this moment, Jin Brick walked in with a cold face and said, "Senior brother, I knew that you would definitely go to collect medicines, you should bring these pills in case you need them!" After speaking, he handed Yue Gongzi a large number of bottles and cans and a few jade boxes.
The small fish stared intently, and the uses of these bottles and cans were carefully written, some could avoid miasma, some could relieve the poison of snakes and insects, and some made people coma and diarrhea, all kinds of things, and so on.
The jade box is made of cold jade, and the gold brick makes Yue Gongzi immediately put it into this cold jade box as soon as he picks the herbs, so as to ensure that the medicinal properties of the herbs are not lost at all.
Yue Gongzi didn't shirk it, and was about to go out with these bottles and cans, but the gold brick threw over another bag and said: "Senior brother, this is the life-saving pill left by the master back then, and there is only one left." Now I give it to you, as long as there is one breath left, this elixir can protect your heart and continue your life, and you have to keep your life back. ”
Yue Gongzi knew that this Dan was a precious thing that several people in the rivers and lakes had broken their heads and wanted, so he hurriedly put it away, nodded slightly to the gold bricks and small fish, and disappeared.
Murong Hua's life hangs by a thread, Yue Gongzi is in danger, and the two men Xiao Yu cares about the most are now worried about her, especially as soon as Yue Gongzi leaves, Xiao Yu's heart is empty, and there is no place to put it.
"Golden Brick, I think this matter still has to be discussed with Murong Bing first!" Xiao Yu said distraughtly. Jin Brick nodded and said: "I also have this intention, this thing is too big, you can't resist it alone!" ”
The two were discussing, and Bai Fu hurriedly walked in and said, "Princess Murong is coming this way!" Xiao Yu sighed, since Murong Bing is here, then how to face it.
At this moment, Murong Bing didn't know that Murong Hua had been poisoned by the strange poison, and she just came over to tell Xiao Yu about the results of interrogating Yang Jima.
Originally, when Murong Hua had just succeeded to the throne, Abagu's tribe had a group of merchants. This group of merchants stayed in the Abagu tribe for about a month, selling the goods such as tea, porcelain, and silk brought by the caravan to the Abagu tribe, and at the same time buying local products such as furs and jade from the Abagu tribe.
In this merchant procession there was a middle-aged Beiqiang woman, it is said that her husband used to feed horses to this group of merchants, but once he encountered a sand bandit and lost his life, and since then this woman has taken her husband's work to barely survive in this caravan.
Since the woman was from the Northern Qiang, she was often asked to help interpret during the trading of the Abagu tribe. The woman's hands and feet were nimble, her mouth was sweet, and she was accustomed to seeing people's eyes and causing trouble, and she quickly helped the caravan negotiate a price for the Abagu tribe.
And Yang Jima, who likes delicate things like Da Tan, naturally became familiar with the sweet-mouthed woman. And the woman knew Yangjima's status in the Abagu tribe, so she naturally deliberately flattered her, and it didn't take long for Yangjima, who was not deeply involved in the world, to treat this woman as a handkerchief to confide in her heart.
When the grass on the grassland began to wither, these people were ready to go home, and the day before leaving, the woman sneakily took a small packet of medicinal powder and gave it to Yang Jima and said: "This is a kind of drug, if you can make up your mind to use it, you can make your wish come true, and from now on you and your beloved will fly together!" ”
Although Yang Jima is not very old, the people on the grassland are open, and the love between men and women is not taboo, so when this woman said these words, she did not scold the woman for overstepping her distance like the woman of Datan, but listened to the woman with a shy face, and quietly grabbed the bag of medicinal powder into her palm. And this packet of medicinal powder is naturally the one that Murong Hua has gotten at.
Now that this woman has long been gone, Xiao Yu guessed that it should be someone from Murong Che's side, otherwise how could people outside find out the relationship between Yang Jima and Murong Hua, and make a targeted plan in advance.
Xiao Yu felt that it was unlikely that it was someone sent by Da Tan's side to do it, after all, Emperor Tan had spent so much manpower and effort to put Murong Hua on the throne, how could he immediately borrow Yang Jima's hand to poison Murong Hua to death.
Who else could there be who really had the motive to harm Murong Hua besides Murong Che and his mother's clan?
Xiao Yu listened quietly to Murong Bing's words, and then sighed slightly and said, "Sister, it doesn't matter who wants to drug the king now, now I have one thing to tell you, but you must be mentally prepared!" ”
Murong Bing saw that Xiao Yu's face was heavy, and Bai Fu and Jin Brick also stood aside, without saying a word, and said a little uneasily in his heart: "County Lord, please tell me anything about you, is there anything wrong with him in the king?" ”
Xiao Yu held back the grief in his heart and slowly told Murong Bing the true situation of Murong Hua. Murong Bing's body shook slightly when he heard that Mu Ronghua was poisoned, but fortunately, Bai Fu's eyes were quick and he helped her.
"Well, Atta ...... He can only ...... Only three months to live? Murong Bing asked with tears in his eyes in disbelief, Xiao Yu really couldn't bear to look at Murong Bing's expression, so he only hung his head and nodded slightly.
Murong Bing suddenly let out a cry: "My God, why do you want to do this to me? What are we doing wrong? Ah Di has not had a mother since he was a child, so he left his hometown to go to Datan to be a proton at such a young age, and I don't know how he came over in the past few years. I finally came back, and became the king of Beiqiang, but I didn't live a good life for a few days and died soon, God, why didn't you take my life! ”
Rao is a strong person like Murong Bing, and he couldn't help crying. Xiao Yu looked at Murong Bing silently, not knowing how to comfort her. Fate is always so impermanent, and if you give the best, you will be ruthlessly asked to go back in the near future. Good times are always so short-lived, and before you have time to appreciate them, they are fleeting.
After a long time, seeing that Murong Bing cried slightly, Xiao Yu took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Murong Bing and said, "Sister, wipe your tears, now is not the time to cry, there are still many things waiting for you to do!" ”
Murong Bing raised his head and looked at Xiao Yu and said, "County Lord, what you said is that Fang Cai is too out of shape, I have already thought clearly, I can't let my relatives and enemies be happy, what do you say!" Murong Bing said as he spoke, his face showing hatred, and a pair of jade hands slowly clenched into fists.
"If I were to know who was behind this, I would have him cut into pieces!" Murong Bing pursed his lips tightly and said hatefully.
Xiao Yu looked at Murong Bing and said slowly: "Sister, the one thing I hesitate about now is, should I tell the king about this?" ”
Murong Bing was stunned for a moment and said: "Brother has always been a strong person, and he hates people hiding from him the most, I think I still have to tell Brother about this, after all, let him know that his time is short, and he can also fulfill some of his wishes as soon as possible, so as not to be in the dark, and there will be regrets in the end." ”
Xiao Yu saw Murong Bing's tears rolling in his eyes, but he stubbornly held back his tears and didn't let them flow out. She stretched out her hand to hug Murong Bing and said, "Sister, you and I think the same, so do you think this is what I say, or do you say it?" ”
Murong Bing gently rested his head on Xiao Yu's arm, and said with a slight sigh: "What if you don't say it, brother...... Younger brother...... He can't be saved after all, can he? She looked up at Xiao Yu, her eyes flashing with hope, and finally dimmed a little bit as Xiao Yu was silent for a long time.
The two sat side by side in silence, the air seemed to be frozen in this tent, the wind and the sun were singing and the flowers were singing, but in this tent it seemed to be surrounded by severe cold. Xiaoyu only felt a little cold slowly seeping in from his toes, and then inch by inch cold to his bones, and finally let his heart freeze a little bit.
Finally, a whisper broke the silence, "Let's go, sister, let's go to the king's side, what should be faced must be faced after all, isn't it?" ”
Xiao Yu stretched out his hand to help Murong Bing, who had been sitting still, in this short half an hour, this flower-like woman seemed to have been drained of her spirit at once, leaving only an empty shell to walk in this world.
Xiao Yu herself didn't know whether to face Murong Hua alone, she was afraid to see Murong Hua's desperate expression, but she didn't know how to comfort him, because in the face of cruel reality, any comfort was so pale and powerless.
Xiao Yu helped Murong Bing clean up her makeup a little, re-powdered her red and swollen eyes that were crying, and re-brushed the hair that had been messed up just now on her sideburns.
Murong Bing looked at herself in the mirror who was becoming more vivid little by little, her expression gradually became resolute, she turned her head to look at Xiao Yu and said, "County Lord, I thought about it again just now, let's go step by step, and go tell the king that he was poisoned first." Tell him the truth later! ”
