After stopping in Tiger City for a long time, Bai Wuya finally gave the order for the squad to return to the camp and gave up the idea of attacking the city.

Although there are only a few thousand troops in the Tiger City, the defense system on the walls of the Tiger City is perfect, and the Dragon Legion has not brought a siege weapon, not even a ladder, so naturally it will not be able to attack the city.

What's more, they also have to clean up the battlefield, as the victorious side, the battlefield is full of spoils.

At dusk, the Dragonscale Empire, the imperial capital.

The Imperial Palace is the symbol of the imperial capital and the symbol of the authority of the Dragon Scale Empire.

"Gonggong Liu, Your Majesty is so eager to summon you, but something important has happened?"

On the way to the Imperial Study, Master Qiong, the chief alchemist of the palace, was a little apprehensive. Every time he was urgently summoned by His Majesty, without exception, there were tricky things that needed him to take action.

"Master Qiong, you will know when you see Your Majesty, the miscellaneous family really doesn't know, so don't ask again. ”

While speaking, the two of them had already arrived outside the imperial study.

After Gonggong Liu spoke, a voice full of majesty came from the imperial study: "Come in." ”

With a creak, Gonggong Liu pushed open the door of the imperial study, stood aside, and bowed down to let Master Qiong walk in front.

"Wechen greets Your Majesty. ”

Although he is the chief alchemist of the palace, when he sees the man in front of him, he has to perform the royal courtesy.

"The dome master doesn't have to be polite, the dome master, please come forward. ”

This is a man of about fifty, dressed in a golden dragon robe, with a crown of gold beads on his head, with a slight smile on his face, but a pair of gentle eyes are full of majesty.

Hearing this, Master Qiong came to the imperial study, in front of His Majesty's desk of the Emperor.

"Here's an urgent secret letter, Master Vault, take a look. ”

His Majesty Qin Zheng, the Emperor of the Dragon Scale Empire, pointed to the secret letter on the table that had been opened and said to Master Dome.

After answering the call, Master Dome reached out and picked up the secret document on the table, and pulled out the letter inside.

There are three pages in the letter, each page is densely written, and every word is a big thing, and the more Master Qiong reads it, the heavier his mood becomes.

It wasn't until he finished reading it that he frowned deeply.

"What does the Dome Master think, does it have anything to do with the poisoner you killed some time ago?"

Seeing that Master Qiong had finished reading it, Qin Zheng opened his mouth to ask again, without any nonsense, and went straight to the point.

Master Qiong, who frowned deeply, was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and said softly: "Your Majesty, according to the introduction in the secret letter, this poison is exactly the same as the poison master who wants to use the blood ladybug, and the two don't seem to have much to do with each other, but in fact they are very deeply related, and it is certain that the person who prepared this poison must be from the same school as the poisoner." ”

After listening to Master Qiong's answer, the smile on Qin Zheng's face disappeared, and his brows furrowed.

He has never been afraid of fighting with the Black Tiger Empire, and things like this have happened occasionally in the past, but this year is extraordinary, too many times and too fast.

Among them, I am afraid that there is a problem, and it is a big problem, as the emperor of the Dragon Scale Empire, although he has never met with the emperor of the Black Tiger Empire, he has been friends for a long time.

According to his understanding of this long-time emperor of the Black Tiger Empire, he was by no means such an eager and unscrupulous person, even if he wanted to use such despicable means, he would not be so blatant.

However, for a while, he couldn't think of a reason, many questions, and he could only wait for the further development of things before it was possible to answer these questions one by one.

"Master Qiong, the letter said that your disciple has dispensed medicine to delay the onset of the toxin, but the detoxification still needs you to go, since you have already come, Master Qiong should not go back, and immediately set off for the front line, and the horses are ready for you. ”

Qin Zheng said, Master Qiong didn't see it, but he couldn't say it because he was suffering, and said that it was what his disciple said.

In fact, when he saw the letter mentioning the condition of the poisoner, his heart hung in the air, because he had never seen such poison.

And when His Majesty summoned him, he must have sent him to detoxify, and at that time, one of his hearts was raised to his throat.

When he read the letter hard, Master Qiong's whole person was not good, if it weren't for His Majesty in front of him, he would not have frowned deeply for a long time, but jumped to his feet and scolded his mother.

The letter actually said that his disciple Long Ya had already dispensed medicine to delay the onset of that poison, and also said that Long Ya specifically mentioned him, saying that this poison could only be solved by him, a master.

The point is, how can this master solve the poison that he has never heard of?

Anyway, he is already old and refined, and from between the lines, he immediately understands that this is for him to detoxify, it is clearly his disciple Long Ya, who is using his name to cover up.

Anyway, since his disciple said this, he, as a master, naturally can't dismantle the stage, even if he can't solve it, he can only pretend to be able to solve it in front of His Majesty.

"In accordance with Your Majesty's orders, the minister will set off for the front. ”

After bowing out of the imperial study, Master Qiong's face instantly recovered, and his eyes were full of anger.

In his heart, he scolded angrily: "Long Ya, you little rabbit cub, it's okay to cover in the name of your master and me, if you dare to make a big statement, see how I clean you up." ”

I scolded in my heart, but I was more confused and incomprehensible and curious.

This kind of poison has never even been seen by him, how did Long Ya know it? And can it be solved?

Thinking about it at this time, he found that he really didn't know much about his disciple, and it seemed that the reason why this kid didn't go to the imperial capital with him was not the reason why he wanted to join the army at all, but that he was not interested in his alchemy.

For a pharmacist who can reach the second realm, he will have no interest in refining medicine, and it is impossible for anyone to believe it.

What's more, the one who wants to accept this pharmacist as an apprentice is still a master of alchemy, and he is the chief alchemist of the court of the Dragon Scale Empire.

Whether it is from alchemy, or from interests, status, power, etc., there is such a master, and if he can't ask for it, how can he refuse?

Another point worth mentioning is the matter of the two blood ladybug broods.

This matter, he was in a hurry to find the poisoner, so he didn't ask too much, but now that he thinks about it, this is not something that a pharmacist can do at all.

"Long Ya, Long Ya, my precious apprentice, it seems that you have a lot of secrets. ”

Combining all of the above, Master Qiong deduced that there was a big secret in his disciple, and it was a big secret related to alchemy.

With this big secret in mind, as well as the expectations and questions in his heart, Master Dome left the palace, stepped on the high-grade wind-chasing horse specially prepared for him by His Majesty, and headed for the front line.
