For a long period of time, Xue Tianbao was tired of dealing with the visiting martial arts colleagues, and he was busy all day long!

In contrast, Banqin seemed much more relaxed, and he also changed his usual attitude, becoming closer and closer to Kenshin! Not many people were surprised by this, after all, those who knew a little bit about the inside story had long regarded the two as a natural pair. Banqin was so cold before, just because he was entangled in trivial matters and had no time to take care of him!

Besides, no one would consider the truth at all, after all, a woman like Kenshin, who was not only excellent in martial arts, but also had picturesque eyebrows, was not the best partner that most men in the world dreamed of?

In the past, the Yanfu of Xuexi did not know how many people in the rivers and lakes were envied, and now its disciples actually have the favor of such a beauty, which really makes people sigh at the wonder of creation!

It's just that there are some people who can't help but gloat in their hearts, no matter what, the two of them are from the Demon Palace, and the blood poison in their bodies has no cure, at least for now! Even if they are majestic now, don't they have to go to Huangquan Road early in the coming day to do that pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate?

Although Xuexi is busy, of course he will not ignore the poison on his apprentice like others, so he still often visits Luo Hao to study pharmacopoeia medicine together. Although he is not proficient in this way, he can be said to have a lot of experience and knowledge in his life, and he has also benefited Luo Hao's father and daughter.

Yin Yaoji still assisted Luo Hao's father and daughter in their research from the position of an experimental object, although there were no obvious changes, but they could also see that they were a little haggard! Banqin occasionally saw her, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart! Although he knew that Yin Yaoji had a strong will to survive, he also understood that the sacrifice she made at this time was for herself, and a large part of it was for herself, and this was just a secret that he had been pretending not to understand!

Xue Tianqi finally returned to Yixia Villa, and after a few months, he hurriedly saw his parents and rushed to Banqin's residence.

Briefly told the story of not coming, seeing that his face was full of doubts, Banqin smiled slightly: "The third senior brother has worked hard this time, sit down and drink a cup of tea first, and don't be busy talking about something......"

Xue Tianqi frowned slightly, but he still sat down and took a sip of tea as he said, and finally couldn't help asking: "Little junior brother, I went to Persia this time, and at the beginning, it was indeed as you said, they were very much in agreement with the plan of sneaking up on the Western Regions and our plan to practice breaking through the Demon Palace. Moreover, we explained early on that they would contain the Western Regions Alliance, and we would wait for an opportunity to attack the Demon Palace. Everything was going well, but for some reason, the Persian march has suddenly become sluggish, and the attitude towards me is not as good as before, is there something wrong with it, is it not that I have done something wrong?"

"Hey, it's a blessing that you'll come back alive......"

Thinking in his heart, seeing his worried face, he was obviously afraid that it was because he had made a mistake.

Banqin smiled slightly: "Third Senior Brother, don't worry, the armies of the two countries have been carried out repeatedly in the past few months, and they have suffered a lot of losses on each other." And it is normal for Persia to be wary when he sees that we have not acted for a long time. But from the very beginning, I didn't care about the outcome of the war between the two of them, because our ultimate goal was the Demon Palace, understand?"

Xue Tianqi listened and nodded slowly: "I naturally understand this, but although the Persians are strong, since the masters of the Demon Palace participated in the battle, they have not been able to pose a great threat to the Western Regions Alliance. I'm just worried that if this continues, if the Persian army can't support the withdrawal, then your plan ......."

Shaking his head, Banqin sipped tea lightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry! The Persian royal court is different from us! For us, fighting with the Demon Palace is just to protect ourselves, so we have no choice but to take action." If you lose, your life will be lost, but even if you win, everything will be as usual! But this is not the case for a country's imperial court, and once the army goes to war, it will inevitably cost the country countless financial and human resources. If the imperial court is defeated, it will lose the support of the people, and only if it wins can it have a chance to take back what it has done. Therefore, even if it is a temporary obstacle, it will not let them retreat easily!"

Xue Tianqi nodded abruptly when he heard this: "Oh! It turns out that you are deliberately involving the Persian army, because as long as they make a move, they must not stop suddenly!"

"Of course, the Demon Palace has deep roots in the Western Regions, and the government and the opposition are very respectful. But in the final analysis, it is only a relationship of mutual dependence! The Demon Palace will not allow the city-states of the Western Regions to be destroyed by others, and the city-states will not let their Holy Palace fail. But at this time, the army of the Western Regions is invading, and the city-states will definitely raise troops to resist the enemy, and how can they not care about their own safety for the sake of the Demon Palace? That's why I want the Persian army to fight the Western Regions Alliance first, and then the Demon Palace must come to the aid in order to maintain its position. But in this way, there are not many innocent people in the surrounding neighboring countries who have been secretly captured and tested by the Demon Palace for hundreds of years, so once they appear, they will inevitably arouse the hatred of the same enemies in the surrounding borders! It's not that I intend to take advantage of others, it's just that the ship of the Demon Palace is too big and too strong, and if it doesn't stir up the wind and waves, how can it be turned over......?"

Xue Tianqi nodded again and again when he heard this, but he couldn't help but ask worriedly: "But junior brother, if the Demon Palace really defeats the Persian army, the next step is to do something to us?"

"Don't worry! Persia sent 200,000 troops, how could one hundred and eighty martial arts masters easily repel them? Otherwise, the Demon Palace would have to do its best, and what would they do to fight us after that? And if they have reservations, no matter whether they win or lose, the city-states in the Western Regions will have doubts about them in the future. So what we have to do now is to calm down and not rush ......!"

After Xue Tianqi left, Xianzhen hurried over in less than half an hour. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted at Banqin: "Hey, you have never been so patient to analyze and act for me, why did you say it so carefully this time? Moreover, didn't you tell Xue Tianqi to keep it secret?"

Banqin looked at him and asked calmly: "Now the people in the entire Yixia Villa know, right?"

"Soon the whole world will know!"

"That's good......"

Xianzhen was stunned for a moment, and then slowly sat down to look at him and asked in a deep voice, "Did you deliberately let him say it?"

"If that were not the case, how could Persia have acted hastenedly, and how could I have waited and seen what had happened?"

"But will he be easily fooled?"

"I didn't let him be fooled! Every word I said was the truth! It's just that they can't change anything now......"

After pondering for a long time, Xianzhen seemed to have realized and nodded: "It's really yours, first drive the ducks to the shelves, and then fan the flames, so that he can't get down even if he wants to!"

Banqin sneered faintly: "The Persian royal family is easier for hundreds of years, even if they give heavy benefits, why do they want to regard themselves as the Son of Heaven? And now even if the Persian royal court listens to them, how can they not consider their own situation first? Now that the two armies are facing each other, if they are easily defeated, how can they appease their subjects? No matter how many benefits there are, how can the monarch hundreds of years ago compare to the country he has at this moment? They think that there is nothing they can do to hinder me secretly, but if I am so easy to be calculated, how can I survive them to show their own feet?"

"In that case, he must be in a hurry to get the message back now, do you want me to keep an eye on him?"

"No, I'd like to see what they'll do next?"

Since she and Luo Siru released the knot, Jian Xin often went back and forth to help her father and daughter test medicines! Moreover, more or less out of provocation to Yin Yaoji, she also asked Luo Siru to take her own blood sample for testing! And this time, Luo Hao felt a great shock!

Seeing his hurried appearance, Xuexi and Banqin both understood that there must be something big!

Sitting opposite the two of them, pouring the blood samples from the two porcelain bottles into the two teacups, Luo Hao pointed and said, "This is Yin Yaoji's blood sample, this is the blood sample drawn by Jian Xin yesterday......"

As he spoke, Luo Hao poured some white powder into each of the two cups.

Soon, Yin Yaoji's blood sample and powder gradually condensed into a freeze, and Kenshin's blood sample was covered with some foam!

"This medicinal powder is extracted from oleander, mixed with some arsenic, and the poisonous blood on your body will gradually coagulate......"

Needless to say, the master and apprentice glanced at each other, and they both saw the relief in each other's eyes!

Moaning slightly, Xue Xi's face raised a look of reminiscence: "I also felt strange back then, but I didn't dig into it! Obviously, although he competed with me for you and Jian Xin on the surface, he always hugged Huaishan tightly when he came out of the Demon Palace and refused to let go. Now that I think about it, he obviously wanted Huaishan from the beginning!"

Banqin listened and nodded slowly: "Suppose he has developed an antidote, but he is not sure that it will work." Then for the healthy me and Kenshin, first of all, the two of us will be very resistant to medicine, and it is indeed a pity if a mistake causes us to die! But if it is a dying Huaishan, you can give it a go in terms of medicine, and if it is a big deal, you will try to snatch me or Kenshin! From the beginning, he was very thoughtful, and I'm afraid he is not always led by Yu Fangsheng's nose like you!"

"But I've also taken blood samples from Huaizen and Kenshin before......"

"That's not simple, as soon as Yin Yaoji came, Huaishan must have thought that Luo Lao would try to detoxify us, since they could detoxify, then there was no need to worry about poisoning! It's just that he didn't expect that Luo Lao would get Jian Xin's blood sample again......

Luo Hao was confused when he heard this, and Banqin looked at him: "Luo Lao, please keep it secret for the time being at this time, and don't say it." As for Kenshin's blood sample, please continue to study it secretly, and it's best not to let Siru know about it!"

Luo Hao nodded lightly, looked at the two of them and asked hesitantly: "Although I don't know the inside story, but from this point of view, in case ......"

Xuexi shook his head, "Luo Lao doesn't have to worry! Jian Xin was raised by my two brothers, so there is no need to have any doubts!"

Speaking of which, it doesn't need to be more straightforward.

After Luo Hao left, Xuexi looked at his apprentice and asked, "When did you start suspecting him?"

"Things weren't normal from the beginning, but I wasn't in a good mood at that time, and I didn't care too much! But then he appeared at the right time, and if you think about it carefully, the two masters shouldn't have agreed to Kenshin's danger, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to wait for that time. And after that, many things also happened very coincidentally, the appearance of the Four Pillars of the Jade Emperor at the right time saved me, and then I met with Yu Fangsheng and broke his treacherous plan, and another Yu Fangsheng appeared in the Demon Palace at that time. It was terrifying that all the timing was accurate, but it was as if everyone was at the mercy of an invisible force. Until I secretly asked the third senior brother to go to Persia, which was originally a matter of no third person. But if all the speculation is true, they will naturally be able to see what is happening......"

Xue Xi listened and nodded slowly: "You're right! Over the past 20 years, I have also been to Baolian Temple several times, but I have not been able to see Huaishan for various reasons. And when I saw him again, he had gone mad and lost his mind. Now that I think about it, he's probably just afraid that I'll see that Huaishan has detoxified. And Huaishan's madness seems to be true, so he actually wants to borrow my strength, so Huaishan has to let me see people!"

After a long silence, Banqin looked at the master and said, "Now I still have three questions that I can't figure out: First, since he can detoxify, why has he endured it until now?"

"Being able to detoxify may just be an antidote, but he may not be able to defeat Yu Fangsheng and the Demon Palace in his own right. Besides, Persia has changed hands for hundreds of years, and it is impossible for him to regain the country!"

"This is naturally one of the reasons, but if he can grant the Persian court heavy benefits, why should he wait so long?"

"This ......"

"Second, I have been to the Demon Palace, and I know that it is more complicated than the inner courtyard of the Deep Palace, and it is absolutely impossible to enter and exit easily without being detected. If there is no internal response, I absolutely don't believe that he can pretend to be Yu Fangsheng to go to Li Dai Taozhuang!"

"It's not that strange! Inserting an internal response in the Demon Palace, it may not be impossible to say that it is difficult. ”

"But that Nei should be able to do this, obviously not an ordinary person. In other words, even if he wanted to capture the Demon Palace, he was only one step away, so why wait until now?"

"It's suspicious, unless he has bigger plans!"

"Maybe I'm waiting for a better opportunity......"

"...... do you mean?"

"In the end, things have developed to this point, and he is likely to be aware that he has exposed his feet, but he can still be so calm, he must be fearless! And he detoxified her without Kenshin's knowledge, why is this?"

Xue Xi thought again and again, frowning: "I didn't expect that this matter would develop into such a complicated situation! But back then, I was not prepared at all!"

"There's no point in pursuing that year now! I got the news that there have been Persian masters who have infiltrated the Central Plains Martial Arts, and their purpose is to attack the Demon Palace. It was supposed to be optimistic, but now I have to think a little more!"

"Are you worried that they will show favor to the Central Plains by getting rid of the Demon Palace, and then take the opportunity to turn against us when we are defenseless?"

"It's not impossible! Besides, if they are able to do this, I have reason to believe that they have actually mastered a considerable amount of power in Persia. If that's the case, even if the Yixia Villa can still command the martial arts, how sure are we left in the face of Persia and the Western Regions at the same time?"

Thinking about it, Xuexi suddenly said in a deep voice: "I think, it's better to try to help Doctor Luo Shen dispense the antidote as soon as possible." Then as long as your blood poison is cured, we can preemptively strike and catch him off guard!"

Banqin nodded, but did not answer! Because he originally had another mystery in his heart, he originally felt that his plan was to make the opponent first, but it was true, but he didn't expect that although the opponent was a step slower at the moment, he had already laid a big foreshadowing for himself a long time ago, and he was prepared that he would suddenly defect!

But in any case, not much has changed in itself. Even if the opponent has changed, what you have to do is still the same!
