Chapter 617: Poison
When Rue Xiang came out of the dungeon, she was already wet, and she couldn't tell whether it was cold sweat or the moisture in the dungeon.
Looking at the firelight thrown in from outside the door, I was in a trance, and I was a little panicked.
The three generals standing outside the door bowed respectfully and saluted, their faces expressionless.
"Your Majesty, will you go back now? They are still in the palace, and we can prepare well at night. ”
"Go back...... Rue Xiang's breath trembled slightly, her long eyelashes fanned slightly, and she looked at the red-robed female general with a forced smile.
Obviously, the people outside this underground palace, at least the three female generals in front of them, already knew the content of Nuwa Niangniang's order.
After a slight pause, Rue Xiang said softly: "What are you going to prepare? It is already the best result to be able to send the Great Sage away safely." Niangniang didn't know the strength of the Great Sage...... Once we make a move, we will definitely not be the opponent of the Great Sage, and when the time comes, we will ......."
"Not necessarily. The woman took a small white bottle from her sleeve and presented it to Rue.
Rue Xiang looked at the bottle and laughed a little panicked: "As early as more than six hundred years ago, the Great Sage was a Heavenly Dao cultivator, how could he use just a few poisons to ......?"
"Your Majesty. The female general interrupted Ruxiang's words in a cold voice and said, "This elixir was given by the mother." ”
Rue looked in horror at the priest beside her.
I saw that the priest nodded slightly.
At this moment, Ruxiang's mind was blank with a "buzz".
......
In the palace.
On the cornice, the monkey sits side by side with the canopy, looking up at the moon.
Everyone else had already gone to sleep. According to the original plan, it was supposed to have the monkeys keep vigil. I don't know how, though. Canopy also insisted on a vigil. So, on the eaves, there were two people.
However, it doesn't matter if there are two people, although they will definitely not doze off with their cultivation for a night, but after all, it is still quite boring. Having someone to talk to is not a bad thing after all.
In the dark silence of the palace, a maid walked through the corridor in the distance with a lantern. Tianpeng watched quietly and said softly, "There are five guards in the darkness over there. There are also two hidden in the attic. There are twelve on the side of the palace wall. On each sentry post, in addition to the two people on the surface, there were at least ten people hiding in the shadows. ”
As he spoke, Tian Peng smiled faintly, and then pointed to the attic on the side and said, "There are more than thirty in the attic, all of them are above the God Refining Realm. It's so late, I don't sleep, I don't talk, I don't do anything, I just stay. ”
"What do you want to say?" asked the monkey.
"In this palace. Don't you think it's a little strange that there are so many dark whistles?"
"Maybe this has always been the case in this palace?" the monkey took a deep breath and said, "The king of the dignified daughter country." The lord of a country, there are hundreds of people in the palace who rotate at night, what's so strange?"
"The daughter country is not more than the average country, besides, if it is a simple night shift, shouldn't they be stationed on the periphery? Not only are they arranged in the inner perimeter, but they also happen to have a heavy army next to us. This shouldn't be an accident, right?"
The monkey snorted, glanced back at the canopy, and then sat motionless with his knees crossed and staring ahead.
"You suspect they want to do something to us?"
"It's not necessarily hands-on, but at the very least, it's not as welcoming as it seems. And isn't the queen leaving the table today? Maybe it has something to do with us. ”
The monkey did not answer to this statement, but only sighed.
Overall, the monkey's impression of Rue is good so far.
At the beginning, a maid of Qi Tiangong became the king of a country, and she had a cultivation comparable to a canopy. How much has this experienced?
The sky will not fall pie for no reason, in order to cultivate immortals, I walked 108,000 miles, I don't know how much suffering I have suffered with gritted teeth. Tianpeng didn't know how many tough battles he fought, and all the monsters in the world were killed by him until he fled from the wind...... For a thousand years, relying on the various resources obtained in it, he also raised his qualifications.
How much a maid has to go through to get to this day, the monkey doesn't know, but it is certain that it will not be that simple.
In general, monkeys appreciate rue. Of course, it didn't get to the point where I could take my personality to pack tickets for others and believe it. However, with such a big gap in strength, is it really possible for the other party to rashly do something to himself?
The monkey was not convinced.
Of course, this does not justify letting your guard down. This night is still worth it.
"By the way, aren't you shouting for Master Xuanzang to go to Pudu those baby boys who were sacrificed?"
"That's a problem......" The monkey looked back at the room through the half-open window, and said leisurely, "He himself doesn't seem to have recovered yet, and I originally thought that there was just a chance to force it." However, it is not good to eat people with a short mouth, and it is not good to make trouble as soon as they are invited to a banquet. Forget it. ”
......
The long night passed slowly, and at dawn, Rue Xiang landed in front of the palace with the three female generals.
That's pitifully slow.
This way, it can almost be said that he was escorted by the three female generals. At the gate of the palace, the green-clothed prime minister was already waiting early.
"Your Majesty. After a brief salute, the green-clothed prime minister looked at Rue Xiang silently.
They probably know everything that happened in the underground palace of Nuwa Temple.
Rue Xiang didn't even look at her, her face was indifferent. He stood like this for a while before he walked slowly towards the palace. The group followed closely.
The cold wind swept by, the sky was already gray and bright, but the whole palace was still in shadows.
The group walked on the deserted palace road, but it was quiet, and there was not even the slightest sound.
With each step, Rue felt the eyes behind her staring at her. As long as they act rashly, they may rush to the top at any time.
Will they be able to take it over themselves?
Not necessarily.
He is the pinnacle of Taiyi Golden Immortal. And they, at best, are only golden immortals, not even Taiyi scattered immortals. Such a practice. Don't say ten or eight. It's fifty. It doesn't have to be able to subdue itself.
At the beginning, Nuwa Niangniang gave herself this mana, so that no matter what happened to her daughter's country during her long dormant period, Rue Xiang could suppress it by herself? It was precisely because of this that she could maintain her strong prestige in front of tens of thousands of subjects in her daughter's country.
However, this prestige was given by the mother, and if the order to deal with the mother was to be reversed, there would be no door.
This daughter country, in the end. It's Nuwa Niangniang's. Her so-called queen, although she seems to have unrivaled power for the subjects of the daughter country, is actually just an ornament. You can do whatever you want on weekdays, but once the mother personally intervenes......
It's ridiculous to say, originally he should have been directly ordered by Niangniang to monitor the entire daughter country. As a result, now, in the blink of an eye, it is the other way around, and it is they who monitor themselves.
Pursing her lips, Rue Xiang smiled helplessly.
That behind you. The green-clothed prime minister held the white bottle he brought back from the Nuwa Temple and followed inch by inch.
Is it really going to be poisoned?
Does Niangniang know that the Great Sage was once a Heavenly Dao cultivator?
If you don't know, it's easy to do. Anyway, it doesn't work, and if you get down, you shouldn't have any problems.
If you know...... Knowing that the Great Sage Master was once a Heavenly Dao cultivator, he also gave the pill and ordered himself to poison it. Then, this elixir must also be effective for Heavenly Dao cultivation. In the event of poisoning......
On the one hand, he is the Great Sage, who is kind to himself, and he is also the object of his worship all along. On the other side is Nuwa Niangniang, who is also kind to herself, supporting herself to the throne with one hand, and she can let herself be in a different place at any time.
How should this bottle of elixir be chosen?
For a while, Rue Xiang's heart was in turmoil.
The door slowly opened, and Rue Xiang saw her personal maid standing with a group of ministers of civil and military affairs who kissed her.
When they saw Rue, they were all silent and bowed.
"Your Majesty......"
Rue Xiang waved her hand slightly, and the little maid had to swallow back the words that came to her lips.
"Stand down and rest early. ”
The ministers in the room looked at each other. After a while, they bowed down one by one.
"No!"
As the ministers on the side of the queen withdrew from the door, there were several other ministers who waited outside the palace gate with the prime minister and the three female generals who returned from the Nuwa Temple. However, the queen's ministers really left, and the three female generals quickly led the troops to surround Ruexiang's residence.
The door was closed, and in the spacious room, only Ruxiang, the prime minister, and Ruexiang's personal maid were left.
Rue Xiang glanced at the prime minister lightly and said, "Aren't you going back to rest?" It's almost dawn, even if you want to poison them, you can only wait until they eat, it can't be now." ”
"Surely we can only wait until they have a meal, but, Your Majesty. The prime minister said expressionlessly: "Our preparations should start as soon as possible. The demon monkey is strong, this matter is very important, as a courtier, where can he dare to rest at this time?"
"Right...... You're right. The prime minister is indeed the pillar of the country. Rue Xiang smiled faintly, and turned to the personal maid on the side and said, "You have also worked hard, go and rest first." ”
The maid looked up at Ruexiang, then turned her face sideways to look at the expressionless prime minister, bowed silently, and withdrew from the door.
When she closed the door, the prime minister gave her a meaningful look.
"Those outsiders are just passing by, and the ministers advise Your Majesty that it is better to put state affairs first. ”
"Why, does the prime minister think that this king is not focusing on state affairs now?"
"Don't dare. Minister, it's just a kind reminder. ”
Turning around, Rue Xiang walked towards the inner room step by step, drops of cold sweat falling from her forehead.
The hand hidden in his sleeve tightly held the piece of jade that was used to communicate with his maid.
......
At this time, the maid who had already left Ruexiang's residence was deliberately slowing down, lowering her head, and slowly walking along the aisle in the palace towards the attic where the monkey and his party were staying.
The hand hidden in the sleeve of the shirt also held the jade slip used to connect with the rue incense tightly. (To be continued......)
PS: Why, you must think that there is no change today, right? But I'm really going to take a leave of absence tomorrow, and I have to go to an event ~Thank you for your support~
