The fact that the empire uses shady means to control all the city lords is really quite surprising. No matter how you say it, it's an empire, how can you use such means to control your own people.

But this is a good thing for Jiang Mohan, in this way, there must be some city lords who are dissatisfied with the royal family.

The two were just about to speak, when Zheng pushed open the door and walked in: "Boss." ”

Jiang Mohan nodded: "Look at your mental state, it's good." ”

Zheng smiled: "How can the boss be in a good state." ”

Jiang Mohan smiled: "Okay, don't be poor." ”

When Nameless saw Zheng, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but it was fleeting.

After Jiang Mohan finished speaking, he looked at Nameless again: "Tell me about the specific situation." ”

"My lord, the emperor has made people refine a kind of elixir, called the Nine Turns Away Death Pill. This elixir is extremely vicious, you must take one pill every month, if you don't take it when the time comes, people will gradually begin to look in a trance, and the whole body is like ten thousand insects gnawing, and then there will be cracks in the spiritual sea, and the cultivation will soon disperse. This is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that as the cultivation disperses, the body will begin to rot and eventually turn into a puddle of yellow water. The whole process lasts about fifteen days. Nameless said coldly.

When Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but shudder, but he wanted to vomit when he said this, let alone see it with his own eyes. Jiang Mohan was no better, and his heart was even colder, such a method was simply too cruel.

"Can't you use cultivation to suppress it?Is there an antidote?" Jiang Mohan frowned and said.

Nameless shook his head: "This elixir has no research antidote at all, as long as it is delivered together when the resources are distributed to each city lord at a regular time, so that each city lord can eat the elixir on time." ”

Jiang Mohan only felt chills all over his body, he really didn't expect the empire to use such a method, who would dare to leave the empire in this way.

"Is there no way?" Jiang Mohan said suspiciously, in Jiang Mohan's thoughts, as long as it was poison, there would definitely be a way to detoxify.

But the result was that Jiang Mohan was disappointed, not to mention the antidote, some city lords had thought of a way to do it secretly, but so far no city lord has been able to get rid of the Nine Turns and Death Pill.

"Is there a way to get this elixir?" Jiang Mohan thought, as long as he got the elixir, he would be able to let Qing Xuan lead people to try to refine the antidote.

Nameless thought for a moment: "It should be possible." ”

Jiang Mohan frowned when he heard this: "No matter what method you use, you must get this elixir, only with the elixir can you find a way to refine the antidote, even if it is just a little bit." ”

In fact, Jiang Mohan also knew in his heart that such an elixir would definitely be difficult to obtain. In the imperial family, except for the emperor, almost no one knows about the existence of this elixir, if anyone else knows, maybe it is the alchemist who helped the emperor refine the elixir, Jiang Mohan was very curious, what kind of pill master could refine such a cruel pill.

"One more point, check the pill pharmacists in front of the emperor, especially those who have a close relationship with the emperor. Jiang Mohan actually didn't report much hope, he just wanted to know about it in advance.

For such a pill pharmacist, he must stay in front of the emperor all day long, and he will not come out to move, and at this time, it is impossible to start with the pill pharmacist, only to get the pill, and then let Qing Xuan and them find a way.

After the nameless left, Zheng looked at Jiang Mohan: "Boss, there will be such a terrifying elixir here." ”

Jiang Mohan couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time: "I didn't expect this either. ”

Jiang Mohan did guess what means the emperor might use to control these city lords, but he really didn't expect that the emperor's methods would be so cruel.

"Boss, what now?" Zheng looked at Jiang Mohan.

Jiang Mohan thought for a while: "Wait!"

Zheng shrugged his shoulders, as if this was the only way for now, if he wanted to continue the previous plan, he had to get the pill first, and then let Qing Xuan find a way.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the two of them looked in the direction of the door.

"Come in. Jiang Mohan reacted and looked in the direction of the door.

When someone pushed the door in, they were both stunned.

The visitor laughed: "Don't remember so soon?"

The two reacted and arched their hands one after another: "Senior, why are you here?"

Isn't this the old man who helped the two of them in the Ice Valley?

Seeing this, the old man hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on one knee: "Little master, don't break the old slave's life!"

A little master was stunned, and turned his head to look at Jiang Mohan on the side.

Jiang Mohan also reflected at this time, this is a person from the Jiang family, calling himself a little master, isn't that the Jiang family that Yun Qianmiao said before, I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

The old man smiled: "The little master can call the old slave Haofeng." ”

Jiang Mohan reacted and smiled slightly: "I really didn't expect that you are from the Jiang family." ”

"Wait, wait, boss, what Jiang family?" Zheng was completely stunned.

Jiang Mohan smiled slightly, and told Zheng about the Jiang family before he reacted: "I didn't expect you to have such an identity, boss bull!"

Jiang Mohan glared at Zheng, and then looked at Haofeng: "Are you okay at home?"

Haofeng said with a smile: "It's all good, it's just that the master and the lady miss the little master very much." When Yun Gongzi came, Mrs. also wanted to come, but was stopped by the master. ”

Jiang Mohan was a little inexplicably moved in his heart: "After the things here are done, I'll go back and take a look." ”

"By the way, what's going on in the Ice Valley?" Jiang Mohan asked as he looked at Haofeng in front of him.

When Haofeng heard Jiang Mohan mention this, he chuckled in his heart, and said embarrassedly: "That, little master, you listen to the old slave, the old slave definitely didn't mean it." ”

Jiang Mohan glanced at Haofeng: "Yes, I know you didn't mean it, you did it on purpose." ”

"Well, the little master is wronged, and the old slave also acts according to the old master's arrangement. Hao Feng said with a sad face in an instant.

Jiang Mohan smiled slightly: "Okay, okay, I don't want to blame you, I just want to know, how did the Jiang family know that I went to Bing Valley?"

Jiang Mohan was still a little suspicious about this, because Yun Qianmiao didn't send anyone to protect him at that time, and he also went to the Ice Valley for some training. Unexpectedly, the Jiang family knew their itinerary completely, and specially sent someone to wait for them in the Ice Valley.

"It's very simple, and when you enter the Holy Gate, your family will know it. Your name is given by the old master, I know that your itinerary is very simple, and our Jiang family, that is a big family, I know that a person's itinerary is not simple, and the little master, you are not a calm cultivator. Haofeng said.

When Jiang Mohan heard this, he was stunned at first, as if this was indeed the case.

"I really didn't expect that you are Qi Tian cultivator. "At that time, Jiang Mohan's cultivation was only in the Tianwu Realm, and after Haofeng hid his cultivation, Jiang Mohan couldn't find it. Although it still looked like it was still the Heavenly Realm Realm now, Jiang Mohan could clearly feel a trace of the Qi Heaven Realm aura on Hao Feng's body.

Hearing Jiang Mohan's words, Hao Feng was stunned, he hid it so well, even if it was an ordinary Heavenly Realm, it was impossible to find out that he was Qi Tian's cultivation, but he didn't expect the little master to be able to find out.

Zheng on the side was also stunned, and when he heard Jiang Mohan's words, he glanced at Hao Feng a few more times: "Qi Tianjing?"

When Jiang Mohan heard Zheng's words, his face showed confusion and looked at Zheng on the side: "You can't feel the breath of Qi Tianjing on his body?"

Zheng shook his head helplessly after confirming it again.

"Okay. Jiang Mohan shrugged his shoulders, as if he could feel it.

"The little master is amazing!" Hao Feng reacted and was also impressed by Jiang Mohan.

Jiang Mohan smiled slightly: "Don't pat yourself on the back." ”

"By the way, do you know that the Nine Turns Away from the Death Pill?" Jiang Mohan suddenly remembered, this Jiang family, that is a hidden family, the relationship must be complicated, and he may know something. But Jiang Mohan just asked casually, and didn't have much hope, after all, this is a secret between the emperor and the city lord, and even the hidden family may not know it.

Haofeng thought for a while: "Why does the little master suddenly care about this?"

Jiang Mohan knew what Hao Feng should know when he saw Hao Feng's expression, and hurriedly said, "It is true that there is a problem with this elixir. ”

"I don't know much about this specific old slave, but I heard the old master mention it once. It seems to be some kind of elixir to help the city lord cultivate, do you want it too, little master? Actually, there is no need for this elixir, if the little master wants it, there are many kinds of pills in our Jiang family. Haofeng's face was full of pride.

But when Jiang Mohan heard this, he frowned. According to what Nameless said, this Nine Turns Away from the Death Pill should be poison, how Hao Feng said that it seems to have become an elixir to help the cultivation point.

Seeing Jiang Mohan's expression change, Haofeng asked cautiously, "What's the matter, little master?"

Jiang Mohan reacted and looked at Haofeng: "Think about it carefully, is there something wrong?"

Seeing Jiang Mohan's serious appearance, Hao Feng thought about it seriously: "Last time I heard the old master talk about it, it seems to be an elixir to improve cultivation, but this elixir is only distributed by the empire to various city lords, it seems that there is so much." ”

Jiang Mohan fell into deep thought when he heard this, either there was a problem with the nameless investigation, or the empire packaged this elixir, as long as he ate it on time, he would improve his cultivation, and if he didn't eat it when the time came, he would die. At present, if you want to determine whether it is good or bad, you still have to wait for the news from Nameless's side, as long as Nameless gets the pill, as soon as Qingxuan's side studies it, the truth will be revealed.

Jiang Mohan immediately nodded: "Do you have a way to get this elixir?"

Hao Feng didn't think about it: "No way." ”

Then he said: "Little master, you don't know, the empire's control over this Nine Turns Separation Pill is quite strict, if it weren't for the extremely good relationship between the master and the city lord, he wouldn't have known that there would be such an elixir in the world, which can make the monk get twice the result with half the effort in cultivation, no one has ever seen who the pill master who refined this pill is, and only the emperor himself knows." And each city lord only has one pill every month, and he must take it himself, if he gives it to someone else or takes it out to make a trade, which causes this elixir to flow out, he will be executed for treason, and if he escapes, he will face the emperor's want, and no one will think of taking this risk. ”

Jiang Mohan nodded: "For such a thing, the secrecy work must be done quite well, otherwise how could anyone serve the imperial family again." ”

Who knew that Haofeng did have a negative face after hearing this: "This actually does not affect the empire's recruitment of people, because the resources allocated by the empire are incomparable to any sect or family, and the resources that a city lord can get every month are several times that of the Holy Gate Hall master." ”

Jiang Mohan was stunned when he heard this: "Is it so terrifying?"

Hao Feng nodded noncommittally: "Little master, don't you know, even if the Holy Gate is the largest Xuanmen in the entire Qiuchi Empire, it is only a Xuanmen, and it must pay tribute to the empire on time every month." But what about the royal family, the royal family is in charge of everything in this whole empire, and the royal family has its own army. ”

Jiang Mohan thought about it, so it made sense, even if someone knew what the consequences would be if he was the city lord and served the Nine Turns and left the Death Pill, but in the face of so many resources per pair and every month, who could still hold back his restless heart? That is several times more resources than the Holy Gate Hall Lord, originally thought that the resources allocated by the Holy Gate to the Hall Lord were enough, and the royal family was even bigger. Such a method is really difficult for many people to speak.
