Chapter 124: Gu Poison Plague City
Qing He turned his fists tightly, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and he endured it for a while before he spoke very weakly: "You don't need to say any more, since I have already helped you, you know that there is no turning back, you can rest assured."
After saying this, Qing He left almost without looking back, and didn't care about what Qing Chan behind him thought.
When the morning sun sprinkled on the capital again, the whole city was no longer as lively as it used to be, and it was cold everywhere that no one could be seen, if it weren't for some scattered people walking by the street, He Sifeng really thought that this was an empty city.
Hu Hua walked beside He Sifeng with a fan, and looked left and right very puzzled: "What the hell is going on, the emperor just came back yesterday, even if it is not overcrowded today, it should be normal business, why is there no one in this place to buy things." ”
He Sifeng was a little uneasy in his heart, shook his head and looked at the city gate not far away, only to see that the city gate that should have been opened was also tightly closed at this time, the two of them looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes, Hu Hua put away the fan and walked towards the city gate with a solemn expression.
It stands to reason that the defenders of the city should start patrolling the city at this time, but the two of them walked all the way, and when they saw that they were about to reach the city gate, they didn't even see a single soldier.
Hu Hua's tense face was a little nervous, and he swallowed his saliva before he spoke: "Things are a little wrong, let's go to King Cheng first, this place is really a little weird." ”
He Sifeng stopped Hu Hua and dragged him to continue walking up the city tower, "Now that you are in the capital, what can happen, let's take a look first." ”
Hu Hua was a little helpless, but he could only follow, and the two of them cautiously came to the city tower, only to see that the guards' doors and windows were closed and did not seem to be anyone, but if they listened carefully, they could hear some faint breathing and humming.
Hu Hua was a lot relieved when he heard the voice, and hurriedly walked over to open the window, and the three or five guards inside looked up with difficulty, only to see that the guards who were still alive yesterday didn't know what was wrong, and they all lay on the bed with sallow and weak faces, and it looked difficult to get up.
He Sifeng looked around at this room, which could be said to be simple, looked through the tea on the table, and didn't notice anything wrong, so he said suspiciously: "Are you all sick?" or poisoned?"
The guard on the bed closest to the door still had some strength, and quickly got up and arched his hand with difficulty, and said with a wry smile: "We people have been in the army all the year round, and we have some strength not to say that we are not inviolable, and we are all sick like this all of a sudden, and we don't look like ordinary illnesses, and I hope that Mr. will help us find out the truth." ”
Hu Hua checked everyone's situation, his face began to look ugly, and he secretly glanced at He Sifeng before he spoke to reassure everyone: "It may be that someone has done something bad, you guys have a good rest, and I will ask my father to call some military doctors over in a while." ”
The guards thanked Hu Hua one after another, and He Sifeng was startled when he saw that these people were struggling to speak and wanted to get up to see them off, and hurriedly waved his hand: "It is the most important thing for you to rest well now, so these false gifts will be waived." ”
The two of them walked out of the door while speaking, Hu Hua carefully closed the door, and then he took a long breath, pulled He Sifeng and ran towards the city tower.
"It's terrible, I have to tell my father and His Royal Highness King Cheng about this matter, I'm afraid that the capital is going to suffer. ”
He Sifeng just wanted to ask what was going on, but at a glance, he saw King Cheng and the soldiers suddenly appearing in front of him, frowned and stepped forward, blocking the ugly Hu Hua behind him and whispering: "I don't know what His Highness is doing here so early?"
King Cheng pushed him away, looked at Hu Hua fixedly, and asked coldly: "Is this your father's ghost, why were tens of thousands of my city guards poisoned overnight, and why are the only court officials in the capital okay?
The prince came on horseback, and as soon as he stopped, he heard this sentence, snorted coldly and threw the whip in his hand to the guards beside him: "What does King Cheng mean by this, is it suspicious that I and General Hu will do it together?"
King Cheng didn't care about any etiquette at this time, his angry eyes were red and he stared at the prince who was strolling over: "Isn't it? Otherwise, how would His Royal Highness the Crown Prince explain the situation in the city, could it be that I could have made the soldiers under my command like this with my own hands?"
The prince also knew the news early on, but fortunately, he didn't have much power in the army, so he suffered heavy losses, so although he was a little frightened and anxious, he was much stronger than King Cheng, so he still had the heart to laugh at this time.
"That's not necessarily, maybe King Cheng is watching the power of this prince get bigger and bigger, and now he plans to kill each other instead of impossible. ”
He Sifeng frowned, stopped King Cheng, who looked ugly as if he was about to rush up and tear the prince, and said softly: "This matter can't be done by His Royal Highness King Cheng, and it can't be done by the prince and General Hu, this time he is targeting the people in the entire capital, and even all the people, most of them are the Gu master who appeared in the teahouse a few days ago." ”
The prince was also suspicious before, but there were too many people who suffered from these victims, and he had never heard of a Gu master who could be so powerful, thinking of this, the prince licked his lips and whispered: "I won't bother with you, but you must know that this is not a joke, there are many people under my command who are also sick, if it is really you who did it, I will definitely not spare you." ”
After saying this, the prince left if he had it, King Cheng glanced at Hu Hua with an ugly face, and then hurriedly went outside the city to see his military camp.
Hu Hua looked at King Cheng's back and sighed helplessly: "Sometimes I really don't know whether I should trust my father or not. ”
He Sifeng patted him lightly on the shoulder, looked at the lifeless street not far away, and whispered: "I have met General Hu, although he is a mercenary and unscrupulous person, but he still can't do such a thing, our top priority is to find out what kind of poison this is." ”
While the two were talking, Qinghe had already quietly walked over, and Hu Hua didn't notice that he was startled at first.
"What are you doing sneakily about, can't you just come over and talk?"
He Sifeng held down Hu Hua, who was extremely irritable, and smiled kindly at Qinghe: "Don't worry about him, you just have something to say, you don't have to hide it." ”
