Chapter 243: Northern Yan Gu Poison
The three of them left the Yifu Courtyard and rushed towards the imperial palace.
The originally lively and bustling street, like a sleeping dragon that has not woken up, several high-hanging lanterns are emitting a slight spark, and the bluestone floor is as bright as washing.
The morning breeze came, it was quite cool, and the fish-belly-white sky began to climb up a ray of light, Zhu Donglai shivered, and said, "It's only been so cold in September?"
There was a creaking sound on both sides of the street, and the people who got up in the morning began to get busy, and the passers-by on the long road were hurrying, breaking the picture of calm.
Then, a loud shout pierced the sky, and an old man carried a basket and shouted: "Delicious bean curd tweed, and fried dough sticks!"
His eyes were deep-set, wearing only a thin coarse cloth robe, with many patches sewn on the robe, and even a few holes in the trouser tube, he carried a pair of baskets, one of which emitted the smell of bean curd and the scent of fritters, while in the other basket sat a dozing toddler.
Yi Shaotian shrugged his nose and said with a smile: "Why don't you have some bean curd?"
He pulled a silver bar out of his bosom and was about to cross the street.
Suddenly, several high-headed horses appeared from the back corner, and the fierce horses rushed forward, only to see that on the back of the horse headed by the leader, a young man in gorgeous clothes was well-dressed and energetic, but he was slightly embarrassed.
The boy shouted, "Get out of the way!" and the horse galloped like madness.
Behind him sat a man and a woman, both of whom seemed to be slower.
Yi Shaotian couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, it turned out that the young man sitting behind him was Zhou Chenghai, and the other woman was Xue Yanyu, the woman who won the list eye, so it must be Zhuge Qing, a genius from Xuanjing who also won the list eye.
He wanted to make a move, but there were people who were faster than him.
It was not Zhou Chenghai who made the shot, but Xue Yanyu, I saw that her body was like lightning and shot out quickly, but she was a step too late, and the fierce horse threw her away as if she had fallen into an evil spirit.
And Zhuge Qing grabbed the fierce horse tightly, hit the horse's buttocks hard, the horse roared and groaned, and then jumped into the air, flying over the head of the old man selling bean curd in a thrilling way.
The old man sat on the ground with a frightened face, but the toddler in his basket was awakened and cried.
When Xue Yanyu's figure was about to land, the jade foot was a little on the ground, jumped back, and landed lightly on the back of the horse running behind, she exclaimed: "Brother Zhuge , your blood yang horse is crazy. ”
The Blood Yang Horse went crazy and rampage, Yi Shaotian's spiritual power probed, and he sensed that the Blood Yang Horse had been poisoned by someone, I am afraid that it would be even more crazy.
I saw Zhuge Qing grabbing the horse's mane and trying hard to control it, but the blood yang horse crashed into the crowd like crazy, and the road ahead was the main road leading to the imperial palace, and many important officials of the court were walking in a hurry.
You must know that it is forbidden to ride a horse at the gate of the gate, except for the prince who can dismount at the noon gate, other officers and soldiers must dismount at the gate of the gate, otherwise the consequences will be serious.
Xueyang Ma hissed and stepped towards the crowd, Zhuge Qing shouted: "Everyone get out of the way." ”
The Blood Yang Horse became even more crazy, and suddenly rose into the sky, and flew towards Xie Shangshu and other old ministers, if he didn't die in the step, he would be crippled.
Yi Shaotian's eyes were fast, and a few stones in his hand shot out, hitting several big holes of the fierce horse, and suddenly the person turned over on his back and fell heavily to the ground.
Everyone had a false alarm, and very few people could see Yi Shaotian's move, Zhou Chenghai's eyes were glowing with cold light, and he gritted his teeth with hatred, this Yi Shaotian ruined his good deeds.
Although Zhuge Qing learned literature and martial arts, martial arts was only an acquired realm, and he didn't have time to react when he fell, and he suffered some minor injuries.
"Brother Zhuge , are you okay?" The girl in the rear quickly dismounted and swept lightly.
Zhuge stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said anxiously: "Who knocked over my Blood Yang Horse? ”
He patted the horse's belly, and when he saw that the horse had just fainted and was fine, he was relieved.
However, the old ministers had already glared angrily, but as soon as they saw that he was the only son of Lord Zhuge , they endured it and did not have a seizure, after all, everyone was just a false alarm, not to mention that Lord Zhuge was the secretary of the military department and was in power.
Xie Shangshu said lukewarmly: "It turned out to be the nephew of Zhuge Qingxian, you seem to be a little crazy." ”
"Lord Xie, this horse should also be happy for the master, and he is in a hurry. The person who spoke was Master Shang Shutie of the Ministry of Works, and he made a round.
Yi Shaotian stepped forward and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't expect to meet here, Brother Zhuge , your horse seems to have fallen into evil." ”
Zhuge Qing snorted coldly and patted the horse, only to see the horse neighing twice, spitting out black blood from his mouth, and died.
Zhou Chenghai had already dismounted, watching coldly from the sidelines, with a cold smile in his eyes.
"Who is it? Who killed my horse?" Zhuge Qing was furious when the horse died, although he felt that the horse was knocked over with stones, but he couldn't find who the murderer was.
Only Zhou Chenghai and Xue Yanyu witnessed all this with their own eyes, Xue Yanyu's eyes swept towards Yi Shaotian, Zhuge Qing was extremely smart, how could he not understand, and said coldly: "It's you?"
Zhu Donglai, who was behind Yi Shaotian, was shocked and said, "What? How can I have the ability to kill your horse." ”
Yi Shaotian said: "Your horse should be poisoned, according to my inference......"
He was suddenly taken aback, because he heard a dull sound, and he lost his color and shouted, "Everyone run, this horse is going to explode!" He grabbed Zhuge Qing and hurried back, everyone was puzzled, and they all ran in a mess.
"Boom!" the flesh and blood flew sideways, only to see the bloody horse explode, and the ground was covered with black blood.
Everyone was shocked and frightened, but fortunately no one was injured, only to see that after the horse was killed, there was black blood all over the ground, and there were black insects scurrying among the flesh and blood.
"It's Gu poison, Beiyan's heartless Gu. "The one who spoke was a Tai Doctor, he was dressed a little differently from the others, and he wore a Tai Yi hat on his head, because now that the Nanxuan Kingdom is full of disasters and disasters, and a large number of sick refugees have poured into the capital, the work of the Tai Hospital is even more important.
When everyone heard this, their complexion changed, and they quickly moved away.
The soldiers guarding the gate rushed one after another, they held a troll in their hands, and sprayed it on the ground continuously, and suddenly those black insects sneered and jumped, and they were killed.
A long-bearded old man in a blue official robe stepped forward and said excitedly with tears in his eyes: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the invention of my Tai Hospital, and now it is finally useful." ”
It turned out that these two people were He Yuanshi and Zhang Yuanju of Tai Hospital, and Yi Shaotian was the head of the Imperial Medicine Palace, and these two people were his top bosses, so he stepped forward to salute.
