Chapter 243: The Li Family's Arsenal
At this time, Huang Xiao had already entered the Xia Palace, saying that it was the palace, and this momentum and scale were basically a palace. If it was in the Great Song Dynasty, no prince would dare to build a residence of such a scale. At that time, Huang Xiao had also seen the Jin Palace, but compared to this Xia Palace, it was far inferior.
In fact, this is also normal, Li Jiqian is the emperor here now, although he is now attached to the Khitan, but here, he is also in charge.
"Big brother!" At this time, a young man appeared in front of the two.
Huang Xiao looked at this person, since this person called Li Deming his eldest brother, then it was obviously his younger brother. Huang Xiao knew that Li Jiqian had two sons, the eldest son Li Deming and the second son Li Dezhao. Then the person in front of him is Li Dezhao, his appearance is somewhat similar to Li Deming, but it looks like Li Dezhao is thinner.
"It's the second brother, where are you going?" Li Deming couldn't help but ask when he saw his younger brother walking out.
"I heard that the eldest brother went to get the antidote, and the younger brother originally wanted to go over and have a look, but I didn't expect that the eldest brother had already returned, but this antidote was taken?" asked Li Dezhao.
Li Deming didn't answer, but said: "I have something important to go to see the queen mother quickly, and I'll talk about this later." ”
After speaking, he ignored Li Dezhao and led Huang Xiao to hurriedly walk towards the inner mansion.
Li Dezhao didn't follow, just stood there and watched the two leave. After standing for a while, I don't know what he was thinking, but I saw that the expression on his face changed several times, and finally turned around and walked towards the inner mansion.
After the maid's report, Huang Xiao followed Li Deming into a palace and met Princess Xia, who was Li Deming's biological mother.
Huang Xiao looked at Princess Xia slightly, this princess should be about forty years old, because of her noble status and good maintenance, she looks like she is in her early thirties. In terms of appearance, it cannot be said to be stunning. But Huang Xiao also knew that the princess was definitely a great beauty when she was young.
"Ming'er, has this antidote been refined?" Princess Xia hurriedly asked after retiring the maid guards in the palace.
"Queen Mother, you still have to keep this matter a secret~~~~" Li Deming carefully said the previous incident of snatching the antidote.
After listening, Princess Xia said with some trepidations: "Fortunately, that Wang Gaoren made arrangements early, otherwise if this antidote is really taken away, then your father ~~~ Alas, your words are understood in the palace, rest assured, your father's side of the palace will be arranged." ”
"Princess. Those people snatched the fake antidote, and they were afraid that they would use it as a bargaining chip, and perhaps offer some quid pro quo, and ask the princess to be cautious, and try to hide it from their eyes and ears, preferably for three days. Huang Xiao said.
"Huang Shaoxia, this palace must try to hold them back. Princess Xia also knew that this matter was related to her husband's safety, so she naturally would not take it lightly.
"Mother, son. If we can, we should try to meet all the conditions they put forward, so that they can feel that the antidote in their own hands is real and what we urgently need. In this way, we use the real antidote to detoxify King Xia, and there will be many fewer hidden dangers. Huang Xiao said.
"As long as you can safely detoxify King Xia, it's not a problem. Princess Xia said.
"Mother, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple. I think most of their targets are the secrets of the 'arsenal'. Li Deming hesitated for a moment, and finally said stubbornly.
"The secret of the 'arsenal'?" Hearing this, Princess Xia frowned. said, "Ming'er, are you sure?"
"Eight or nine are not far from ten, and the only thing our palace can make them remember is the secret tips in this 'arsenal', I don't believe they are here for money and beautiful women. Li Deming said.
"That's troublesome, this 'arsenal' can only be ordered by your father, otherwise even the queen mother will not be allowed to enter. Princess Xia said with a sad look on her face.
"I don't know what this 'arsenal' is?" Huang Xiao asked with some confusion, of course, he could also know from the literal meaning of this 'arsenal' in his heart that there must be a lot of martial arts secrets hidden in it.
"It's not a secret, all the sects in the rivers and lakes that have some origins know this. This is the martial arts secrets collected by the ancestors of my Li family, which have many first-class exercises, and even peerless exercises. Therefore, there are countless people in the rivers and lakes who have the idea of these exercises. Li Deming said.
Huang Xiao nodded, although Li Deming just said it so simply, but Huang Xiao knew in his heart that I am afraid that the secrets in this 'arsenal' are not simple. His 'Poison God Valley' also has a lot of secrets, but it shouldn't be as good as the Li family's 'arsenal'. In terms of strength and status, with the strength of the Li family as the king of the land of the five continents, his own 'Poison God Valley' is not comparable. Even a force like him has been targeted by many people, which shows the attraction of this 'arsenal' to them.
"If it weren't for Senior Wang and Brother Huang this time, I wouldn't have gotten the antidote, if my father's poison is cured, I will definitely ask my father to let him allow you to enter the 'arsenal' and choose a technique." Li Deming said.
Huang Xiao smiled and said, "The exercises are good, and now is not the time to talk about these." According to Niangniang, if the other party really proposes to have the secret of the 'arsenal', then Niangniang and Shizi can't do it, right?"
"It is so, that no one can enter unless there is the will of the Father. Li Deming said.
Huang Xiao understands that I am afraid that there are master guards in this 'arsenal', and they only recognize Li Jiqian's will.
"In short, we are just stalling for time, no matter what, we can't give them the secrets, as for how to delay, it depends on the mother and the son. It's just that I don't think they should put forward this condition, they must know very well that with the current situation that King Xia is in a coma, they can't give an order, unless they break in, otherwise, you won't be able to give them the secret?" Huang Xiao said.
"Yes, although everyone wants to get the secret of the 'arsenal', they should also know very well that we cannot obtain the secret of the 'arsenal' without the will of our father. So what conditions will they propose?" Li Deming frowned, constantly thinking about various possibilities in his mind.
"No matter what the conditions, just wait for their people to come. Knowing that her husband was saved, Princess Xia was naturally in a good mood, and she also restored the majesty she should have as a princess.
"Niangniang, what do you look like?" Huang Xiao whispered.
Princess Xia was stunned for a moment, restrained her momentum, and her face re-revealed a worried and tired look, and then smiled at Huang Xiao and said, "Huang Shaoxia, this palace will pay attention to your words and deeds to ensure that you are safe before you go." Oh, Hongu can't laugh either~~"
Huang Xiao shook his head helplessly when he saw Princess Xia's expression, although Princess Xia tried her best to restore her expression to the way it was before, but the change in her inner mood was still difficult to hide. No matter how you hide it, this look is still different from before.
However, Huang Xiao believes that it should be possible to hide most people, unless it is someone who is very close to the princess, it should be difficult to detect some subtle changes in Princess Xia. (To be continued......)
