Chapter 199: Jing Heng is assassinated and poisoned
The eardrums of the people who were shocked by the explosion hurt, although they were far away, Jing Heng still protected Shi Yu into his arms.
What was once a good pastry shop has become a burning ruin in the blink of an eye.
"Oops!" Chu Ming's face turned pale, and he immediately rushed over.
Shi Yu and Jing Heng also hurried outside the pastry shop.
The explosion not only destroyed the pastry shop, but also affected almost all the businesses nearby, and the surrounding people were so frightened that they all gathered on the street in panic.
The shopkeeper of the pastry shop who was pulled out was so frightened that he shrank on the corner of the street and shivered, and none of the soldiers who had entered the pastry shop in the first batch just now came out alive.
"Quickly put out the fire, and disperse the people, you must be careful that there are secondary explosions!" Chu Ming hurriedly commanded the remaining soldiers.
The people were dispersed, the soldiers were busy putting out the fire, and Qinglan Street, which was lively just now, was already in chaos at this moment.
Jing Heng held Shi Yu's hand firmly and protected her by his side to prevent any further accidents. It wasn't until the fire was extinguished that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, it was the last general who was negligent and fooled, and he harmed so many soldiers." Chu Ming clasped his fists and knelt down against Shi Yu, his heart full of chagrin.
After the soldiers rushed in just now, they exploded so fast, and now it seems that it is probably a trap from beginning to end.
If you can be more careful and find out the problem, the soldiers will not die in vain!
Seeing Chu Ming kneeling down, Nie Qingsang on the side suddenly felt anxious and wanted to open his mouth to intercede for him, but when the words came to his lips, he looked at Shi Yu, but he didn't know what to say.
"You get up first, the top priority now is to find out the whole thing, and catch Nie Zhixuan." Shi Yu spoke in a deep voice.
After speaking, his eyes looked at the shopkeeper who was shrunk in the corner, still looking frightened.
Chu Ming stepped forward and brought the person over, and the other party knelt on the ground with a thud and immediately began to kowtow.
"The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, this explosion has nothing to do with the grass people!"
"You don't have to be afraid, just answer honestly what I ask you next." Shi Yu calmed the shopkeeper's emotions, and then asked about the ins and outs of the matter.
According to the shopkeeper, just yesterday, someone suddenly broke into his pastry shop, killed the original two guys, fed him poison, and threatened him to continue his business.
He was afraid of losing his life, and with the two of them always by his side, he had no chance to report to the authorities, so he could only follow their orders.
"The grass people really don't know, how can a good shop explode, the grass people are also threatened, the emperor forgives the sin, the emperor suffers!" The shopkeeper kowtowed desperately again.
Shi Yu and Jing Heng glanced at each other, and it was obvious that this matter was indeed deliberately arranged by Nie Zhixuan.
Use the anomaly of the pastry shop to attract attention, and then wait until the raiders are inside before causing an explosion.
"Your Majesty, the corpses have been counted, and the two people in the shop have also been killed."
Hearing this, Shi Yu frowned.
"It seems that the two people in the shop are not Nie Zhixuan and Li Changqing, they should be the dead men arranged by Nie Zhixuan."
But...... What is Nie Zhixuan's purpose in doing this?
Shi Yu was puzzled.
What good would it do Nie Zhixuan to sacrifice two dead soldiers and create such an explosion?
It is impossible to be fooled just to make himself and Jing Heng suffer losses, so as to show his ability.
Unless, Nie Zhixuan still has a backhand?
And at this moment, among the soldiers who were fighting the fire just now, someone suddenly made a move.
With a brush, he pulled out his portable saber and slashed towards Nie Qingsang, who was closest to him.
"Ahh Nie Qingsang panicked with fright.
Chu Ming didn't have time to hesitate, and immediately flew up and stopped the soldier.
At the same time, the shopkeeper beside Chu Ming, who was led away, had a fierce look in his eyes, pulled out the dagger in his sleeve, and stabbed at Shi Yu.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" The crowd exclaimed!
Because the distance was too close, it was too late to dodge, and between the lightning and flint, Jing Hengyi grasped the dagger.
The sharp dagger cut through the flesh, and the blood instantly dripped down the palm of his hand.
The next moment, Jing Heng raised his leg and kicked the person away.
The other soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and restrained the shopkeeper.
Shi Yu hurriedly checked Jing Heng's palm, the two wounds were very deep, but fortunately, they did not hurt the vital point.
Therefore, whether it is the explosives in the shop, or taking advantage of the chaos of firefighting, fake soldiers to mix into the team, it is not the last move, this shopkeeper is the most important chess piece in this game!
"Tell me honestly, where is the second prince!" Chu Ming protected Nie Qingsang, and the soldier had also been caught just now, and he looked at the shopkeeper angrily.
But the latter just laughed, glanced at Jing Heng, and then bit the poison sac in his mouth, and lost his breath in an instant.
Shi Yu's heart tightened when he was looked at by the other party's gaze just now, and he subconsciously looked at Jing Heng, "Overseer, you ......"
Before he finished speaking, he noticed that Jing Heng's wound had turned black.
"Poisonous!" Shi Yu instantly stepped forward to support Jing Heng.
The latter's gaze was soothing, but before he could say the comforting words, his eyes went dark, and he fell.
The palace is full of light, and everyone is anxiously guarding outside.
In the room, when Lin Huaijin received the silver needle, Shi Yu immediately asked, "How is the situation?" ”
Lin Huaijin's face was solemn, and he shook his head at Shi Yu guiltily.
"I don't know what kind of poison it is, and the poison is too strong, and I can't do anything about it."
Shi Yu's already pale face was even more bloodless in an instant.
"You think about it again, I have already sent people to increase the efforts to hunt down Nie Zhixuan, as long as I find him, maybe I can find the antidote, the top priority now is to delay the time, I ......"
"Your Majesty, calm down." Lin Huaijin frowned, "Weichen is ashamed, according to my medical skills, I am afraid that it can be delayed for an hour at most, if it can't be detoxified after an hour, or if other ways are found, then I'm afraid it will ......."
Lin Huaijin did not continue to say the following words.
Shi Yu's heart ached.
Within an hour, if you want to find Nie Zhixuan, I am afraid that there is no hope at all, and even if you find it, the other party may not be able to hand over the antidote in time......
"No, there must be another way." Shi Yu bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself to calm down, "Chasing the clouds, but the order of Chuanzhen is to find all the imperial doctors and see if they have any other way!" ”
As he spoke, Shi Yu suddenly remembered Jiang Xia, and hurriedly spoke again.
"Also, go to the household department to find Jiang Xia back, you must be fast!"
Jiang Xia has a lot of strange medicines in his hands, maybe there are ones that can detoxify!
It didn't take long for the doctors to be found, but after taking the pulse one by one, they all shook their heads, saying that they couldn't do anything.
The last hope fell on Jiang Xia, and Shi Yu only felt that every minute and second of the time waiting for the other party to appear was extremely difficult.
Half an hour later, Jiang Xia finally arrived......
