Chapter Thirty-Six(1/2)
The black panther stepped out of the door with its head held high. Its pure black body was like a hill. Four paws that were as big as an adult's hand pushed to the ground. Then it arched its back and let out a low roar.
The roar made people's eardrums hurt, and the raindrops that originally fell vertically turned around and hit Cui Zhong's face with crackling sounds.
He swallowed, and the hand holding the imperial golden whip trembled slightly.
He had naturally heard the name of wolf mastiff, but now that he saw it, it was indeed well-deserved, and it was even more ferocious than the beasts in the mountains.
At this moment, its pea-green eyes turned scarlet and bloodthirsty, and its wolf fangs were slightly open.
Cui Zhong was sure that as long as he dared to send people forward, they would be torn into pieces in the next second.
He concluded that a fierce battle was unavoidable today, but the deaths of his men must be worthwhile.
The tiger's eyes turned, and he pointed at the door and sternly said: "Bold, I hold an imperial edict and a golden whip given by the emperor. Your indolence is tantamount to contempt for the emperor. Could it be that the emperor wants to rebel?"
"Hiss...how is this possible?"
The people who had taken shelter under the eaves of the house poked their heads out despite the falling rain.
In their hearts, Xue Qianyu is the God of War in the Northern Snow Country. Even if he is now physically disabled, his past achievements cannot be erased.
How could a man who almost died for his country rebel?
The guard standing at the door was gritting his teeth. He put his hat down. If the master didn't come out, he would be acquiescing to it. He was such a vicious Cui Zhong.
In the study room at this time.
After listening to the secret guard's urgent warning, Shen Yi decided to compromise and took out Gubenwan and gave it to Xue Qianyu to prepare for the needle removal.
"Your poisoning this time is too strange. Back then, I suspected that there was something fishy about your poisoning. This Fire Sun Serpent has been extinct for many years, how could it happen to appear on your march?"
"Now it seems that my guess is correct. This poison was specially given to you by someone, and the person who poisoned you is not far from you."
"Think quickly about what you did before you became poisonous. Maybe you can find out what caused the poisonous effect, and then we can follow the clues..."
"What have you done?"
A series of images flashed through Xue Qianyu's mind, and suddenly, her dim phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
"Does it count if you get caught in the rain?"
"Getting wet in the rain counts... wait."
Shen Yi's eyes fell on the robe he had taken off. The four-clawed golden python on his shoulders had changed color, and there were tiny beads in the folds. You couldn't find it unless you looked carefully.
"Anything found?"
"Well," a hint of sarcasm appeared on Shen Yi's lips, "it's mercury, which is more expensive than gold."
There is no need to say the rest.
Xue Qianyu snorted coldly, not surprised at all, but he was very curious whether it was Xue Qianye or the Queen Mother, or his two good nephews.
"It's almost done, let's do it."
Shen Yi gritted his teeth, "Okay."
At the critical moment, I heard a cry from behind the secret door: "Doctor Shen, wait a minute, Lord Zhuiyun said there is a way!"
Outside the gate on the other side, fighting is about to break out.
"Common people, listen, it was Prince Yu who despised the imperial power first. Don't blame me for being ruthless. The garrison guards obeyed orders and forced their way into Prince Yu's palace!"
"Wait!"
A blue figure walked out of the door and patted the black panther on the head. The ferocious wolf mastiff immediately seemed to change into a dog, wagging its tail and acting coquettishly.
Cui Zhong glared, "Who are you?"
How can he make a wolf mastiff so obedient?
Shen Yi smiled and bowed his hands, "This subordinate is the dog man of the prince's palace. It was really... inconvenient for the prince just now. Please go in and wait."
Cui Zhong weighed the pros and cons and decided to get off the road.
As soon as he dismounted, he heard movement behind him.
"General Cui, the emperor told me when he came here to follow him all the way."
It turned out to be Liu Chong, the commander of the Imperial Guard, and he was probably worried that he would secretly collude with Xue Qianyu. It happened that he was also afraid that he would fall into the tiger's mouth.
Xue Qianyu may not give him face from the Cui family, but before breaking up with the emperor, it depends on the owner when beating a dog, and Liu Chong is undoubtedly a good shield.
"Master, please be gentle..."
"It's not time for you to say you want it, huh?"
"Master, you...you are so bad..."
"How bad can I be more bad than you? You know there are people outside, but you are still naughty."
"That's because they feel sorry for you..."
As soon as I walked to the corridor, I heard a sweet and numb female voice coming from the study.
The expressions of the two of them changed. As men, it was not difficult to guess what kind of erotic scene was going on inside.
But isn’t the Royal King averse to women? The last time the emperor granted him a marriage, he said he only wanted a princess. Who was the woman in that princess?
After all, this is not something a lady can say.
The two looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.
"Ahem..."
Shen Yi, who was leading the way, coughed slightly and lowered his voice and said: "The two of them also know that the prince has been abstinent for many years. It is inevitable that he will be a little uncontrollable when he suddenly tastes the taste. At the moment, the prince is in high spirits, and General Cui is really anxious, so he can go over and knock on the door. "
Knock on the door?
At a time like this?
Fortunately he could tell it.
Cui Zhong rolled his eyes at Shen Yi, and his tense old face turned red uncontrollably, "May I ask the prince... ahem, how long does it usually take to finish?"
Shen Yi curled his lips, pretending to be embarrassed and said: "I can't say for sure, it could take as little as half an hour, or as long as two hours."
Cui Zhong was stunned and didn't say anything, but Liu Chong behind him called out in disbelief, "Two hours?"
"Shhh... Commander Liu, please keep your voice down. The prince is going to lose his temper because of the quarrel. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Looking at Shen Yi's walking back, Cui Zhong frowned and planned to ask Liu Chong for his opinion.
"Commander Liu, are we just going to wait like this?"
Unexpectedly, there was no response for a long time. After a closer look, Liu Chong was actually mumbling to himself with two fingers.
After hearing what the other party said clearly, Cui Zhong almost laughed angrily.
Did the emperor send something to follow him? How lucky was he to be so careful just now, that's all?
With Liu Chong at the bottom, he didn't worry anymore and simply started strolling in the corridor. After all, he didn't have the habit of listening to other people's windows.
In the study room.
Lin Feiwan and Xue Qianyu were a few feet apart, sitting back to back, looking at the paper in their hands, their cheeks feeling hot and hot.
Although Xue Qianyu's face was sullen and his whole body was as cold as ice, the red tips of his ears betrayed his inner feelings at the moment.
But the most embarrassing thing has to be Zhuiyun who is lying at the window watching the wind.
"Master, Cui Zhong has gone far away. I don't know what happened to Liu Chong, but he is still in a daze."
He reported in a low voice, but he covered his face and did not dare to turn his head.
Xue Qianyu squeezed the paper in his hand and gritted his teeth: "Where did you find these things?"
Lin Feiwan also turned her eyes and glared angrily. After she told her the plan, she asked Zhuiyun to arrange the conversation. She didn't expect him to arrange such a...
In her mind, the secret guards of Prince Yu's Mansion had always done things properly, but she didn't expect that it was this kind of trust that caused her to stumble.
So shameful!
Zhuiyun looked at the faces of the two and swallowed, "This...that..."
If he were to say that he heard it from a brothel, would his master shoot him to death on the spot?
But the situation was urgent. Where could he find experienced people?
Only that place is fast and precise.
"explain!"
A cold and hoarse voice came, and he jumped up, his eyes lit up, and he had it!
"Master, Cui Zhong is back again."
The implication is that you continue to act.
If looks could kill, Zhuiyun would have been torn into pieces by now.
Xue Qianyu frowned and rubbed the paper in his hand. Strangely enough, when he heard Lin Feiwan's charming tone, he felt that the pain in his body had eased a lot.
This feeling was just like when I met that woman that night.
To be continued...
