224:Where is A Yuan?
Boom——
Immediately afterwards, a powerful thunder struck down, smashing Taoist Priest Baimei into ashes, not even his body was left.
Mu'er felt sad and secretly clenched her fists.
Just as Taoist Baimei said, Prince Qi woke up soon.
He was also confused. After all, he was stabbed in the chest and the poison was quenched, so how could he still be alive?
Mu'er was so happy and excited that she floated over: "Your Highness, you're awake!"
Prince Qi can no longer move. His wounds have fully healed and can no longer be touched.
He stood up, and the attendant prepared a cushion behind him so that Prince Qi could lean on it more comfortably.
"How many days have I been in coma? How come I healed so quickly?" Prince Qi asked.
"His Highness has been in a coma for a day." The attendant lowered his eyes, "It was Taoist Priest Baimei who used the forbidden life-extending magic circle and the lives of twelve people to keep His Highness alive."
Prince Qi did not regret the lives of those twelve people. To him, it was a supreme honor for those people to die for him.
But Taoist Master Baimei activated the forbidden magic circle and saved his life, for which he was extremely grateful.
"Where's the Taoist Priest? I want to thank him personally."
The waiter hesitated to speak, but had no choice but to look at Mu'er.
Prince Qi noticed something was wrong, his face darkened, and he asked in a cold voice: "What happened?"
"The Taoist Master used the forbidden magic circle to forcibly save His Highness's life. He was exposed to the punishment of heaven and is... gone." It was Mu'er who answered, her voice was very soft.
Prince Qi's heart was shocked, and the wounds that had softened seemed to be painful again.
His chest was boiling with blood, and he couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood.
Mu'er became frightened and said hurriedly: "Your Highness has just woken up, please don't get too excited."
"Yes, Your Highness, otherwise the Taoist priest's hard work will be in vain." The attendant also advised.
Prince Qi had already figured out the cause and effect. Veins gradually appeared on his forehead and his voice was fierce as he said, "Ye Siheng's move is really cruel. I have to admire him."
Mu'er said: "Your Highness, as long as you give the order, I will immediately go to Mu Kingdom and take Ye Siheng's life!"
"He is now married to Chu Nanli. With her here, how can you touch Yesi Heng?" Prince Qi gradually calmed down and his expression softened.
Just as the two said, if the Taoist priest sacrificed himself and changed his fate for him, he could not live up to the Taoist priest's wishes.
Mu'er had fought against Chu Nanli before, and when he thought of her fierceness, he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Prince Qi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and snorted softly again: "Don't worry, when I complete my skills, even ten Chu Nanli will not be able to stop me."
"Yes!" the attendant assured, "Your Highness, you can rest assured that I will not let outside matters bother Your Highness anymore!"
During the period when Prince Qi was away from the court, all political affairs were decided by the chief minister.
The first assistant is naturally from Prince Qi.
Prince Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It seems that Ye Siheng has planted many people in the court, so he found out about the private affairs of this prince. You go tell the chief minister and ask him to find out the Mu country spies first."
"Yes! I will take care of it immediately," the nearby waiter said.
Mu'er was a little reluctant, "Ye Siheng is too sinister and despicable, so he shouldn't be allowed to live a stable life."
"It's just a contest, there's nothing sinister or despicable about it." Prince Qi raised his eyes, "The Taoist priest told me before that the country of Mu has been in troubled times recently, and even though I don't take action against him, Ye Siheng won't have a good life for the time being.
"
Mu'er finally smiled after hearing this.
Prince Qi closed his eyes tiredly.
With the Taoist leader gone, he lost a lot of help.
Therefore, he must perfect the technique as soon as possible, so that he can reverse the situation and dominate the world.
But where is his younger brother A Yuan...?
——
News of the failure of the plan quickly spread back to Kyoto, the country of Mu.
After Ye Siheng looked at it, his expression remained the same.
Qing Feng said: "This time we spent a lot of manpower and material resources, but I didn't expect that in the end we would fall short."
It was not easy to find a young man who looked similar to Prince Qi. After they found out about Prince Qi's private affairs, they spent half a year looking for him.
Ye Siheng put the secret report on the table, held his head with one hand, and said slowly and leisurely: "But the death of the Taoist Baimei of Taixu Guan is not without gain."
Qingfeng thought for a while and felt that what the prince said made sense.
Previously, the apprentices of Taoist Baimei came to the country of Mu and stirred up troubles, almost shaking the foundation of the country. Now that the apprentices and masters are dead, Prince Qi has lost a lot of support.
However, Emperor Mu Wu was bedridden again, so Nan Li went to visit and refined some elixirs. Emperor Mu Wu's health improved somewhat after taking them, but he was getting older after all, and his energy was not as good as before.
The prince has some say in the cabinet, but he still needs Ye Siheng's support, otherwise he can't overpower those old fritters.
Ye Siheng read a few official documents and asked again: "Counting the time, Beihan has already arrived in Shouling County, right?"
"We should be here." Qingfeng nodded.
Yesi Heng lowered his eyes, "I just hope he can handle this errand well and don't make any mistakes."
Xie Beihan, who was far away in Shouling County, couldn't help but sneeze.
The accompanying official from the Ministry of Revenue hurriedly asked: "Prince Xie, are you catching a cold?"
With that said, he asked someone to bring him a cloak.
The corner of Xie Beihan's mouth twitched and he said: "I am in very good health, how can I catch a cold?"
Not to mention it's a hot day now.
The official from the Ministry of Household Affairs looked stern, but he said in his heart: You sons of princes and nobles are obviously very weak.
Xie Beihan was not idle either and went to understand the situation with the local county magistrate.
Shouling County is only two days away from Kyoto. People who come to Beijing will stop here to rest. This place is extremely important, so Ye Siheng sent people to deal with the disaster in Shouling County quickly.
The victims have already been resettled, and all that remains is to rebuild their houses and dig ditches to ensure that they will not be easily flooded if there is heavy rain in the future.
The officials of the Ministry of Industry were personally selected by Ye Siheng and were good at making arrangements. Xie Beihan was mainly responsible for the expenditure of money.
Although he doesn't like reading, he has been brothers with Chu Shuo for many years, so it is not difficult for him to take care of money.
The project is progressing as scheduled, and some people will come to help.
But something happened within two days.
Early in the morning, the foreman found two civilians dead in a house that had not yet been built. They died in horrific conditions, with their chests covered in blood and flesh.
The county magistrate rushed over, fearing that he might bump into the nobleman from Kyoto, so he asked the official to dispose of the body quickly.
I thought it was some kind of revenge case, but I never thought that the next day, someone would die in the same way. This time, he died on the street. He couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.
Xie Beihan took the people to take a look, his face changed slightly, and he almost vomited out the breakfast he had eaten in the morning.
Chapter completed!
