Chapter 31 Poison

“I can’t believe that Zhao Changying would actually use such a trick.

“He went into seclusion in a secret room, and we didn’t know his life or death at all, let alone when to deal with Zhao Changying. Yan. What if he suddenly comes out and finds out that we are going against his daughter?"

Zhao Yu clenched his hands into fists, his face was gray, and he was pacing restlessly in the room. .

“Especially Chong Li, who actually left the matter of coronating the new king to that boy Gu Xu.

"Now his prestige in the eyes of Vulcan believers is far greater than before. They almost regard him as a living god"

Zhao Yu's father Zhao Changqi was sitting on a chair by the wall, with his head lowered and his chin in his hands. Although he said nothing, his solemn eyes still revealed that he was not in a happy mood.

After a while, he took a deep breath and said slowly

"Zhao Yan is really not easy to deal with now. After all, Zhao Changying is a powerful true king. He His ability is too difficult to predict. He may be able to sense all the crises that happen to his daughter.

“But Gu Xu must not stay in Dayan.

"If he stays here, people's hearts will continue to gather towards him, and we will gradually be marginalized."

"What if he doesn't leave?" Zhao Yu chuckled, "Now, Chong Li is serving him, Zhao Yan is devoted to him, and Da Qi's envoys don't dare to come and arrest him easily. For him, there is no safer and more comfortable place in the world than Dayan. If it were me, I wouldn't want to leave."

Zhao Changqi was silent for a long time and said calmly, "In this case, we can only find a way to let him die."

" The people regard him as the incarnation of God. If we kill him, will it cause public outrage?"

"There is no need for you to let everyone know that it was us. The blame can all be put on the Daqi court. After all, the Daqi court has been trying every means to hunt him down recently.

"When he dies, we can mourn for him in a hypocritical manner, and maybe we can take this opportunity. Won the support of the Fire Temple and the people. "

Hearing his father's words, Zhao Yu had to sigh silently in his heart, Jiang is still old and hot.

"Father, do you have a specific plan now? "He asked.

Zhao Changqi smiled faintly, took out a small blue and white porcelain bottle shaped like a gourd from the storage magic weapon, and placed it on the table.

"This bottle contains "It's the juice extracted from the soul-stealing grass," he pointed at the bottle and introduced, "This poisonous herb is colorless and odorless and difficult to detect. It only grows on the islands in the South China Sea. I sent people from the South China Sea of ​​the Daqi Dynasty to Bought it from Governor Dou Yinian.

“Once this poison is taken, no matter whether it is an ordinary person or a practitioner, the soul will dissipate silently in his sleep.

“Only saints and above are strong. , to be immune to its toxicity."

" Letting that kid die so comfortably is simply too cheap for him. "Zhao Yu snorted.

However, even though he said this, the image of Gu Xu lying on the bed and losing his breath had already appeared in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

When Zhao Yan changed from princess to king of Yan, Gu Xu's daily life did not change much. He basically stayed in his room to refine his true energy most of the time. Draw talismans, explore more uses of "astrology", and also study the "power of incense" from Vulcan believers.

Recently, he discovered that the power of faith can not only be directly transformed into his true essence through the "Hui Lu" rune, but also among Vulcan believers like Jicheng In the gathering area, his power to cast fire-attribute spells will also be greatly enhanced.

For example, using the same true energy, he can only light a pile of dry firewood in Luojing, but in Ji. He can make a forest burst into flames.

He plans to say goodbye to Zhao Yan after she adapts to her new identity and go to the vast East China Sea to find the bottom of the "astrolabe". A fragment.

Now that Zhao Yan has become the King of Yan, it is naturally impossible for him to travel with him all over the world as he promised before.

He can only go alone. /p>

Later that day, when he finished his meditation and opened his eyes, a thin maid appeared in front of his room carrying a teapot and teacup on a tray.

"Sir, Your Majesty would like to treat you to some tea," she said in a timid voice, "This is the unique alpine rhododendron in Dayan, which can help you relieve fatigue after practicing. She knew you liked it, so she specially asked me to bring it to you to try. "

Gu Xu stood up from his seat and walked to the door. He felt a faint fragrance wafting in the wind, which was refreshing.

"Say something to her for me. Thanks. "He said.

At the same time, he sighed in his heart, Zhao Yan was really considerate today. She had been in the conference hall all day dealing with messy affairs and was extremely busy, but she still didn't forget to send someone. Bring him tea.

However, the moment he took the tray from the maid's hand, his movements suddenly stopped and his expression became serious.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" the maid asked uneasily. Her face turned slightly pale, and she seemed to be frightened by Gu Xu's actions.

Naturally, he can also use this to predict his destiny.

After his repeated practice in recent days, this skill has been continuously strengthened and has almost become an intuition for him.

At this moment, he clearly understoodHe felt that there was danger hidden in the teapot, a danger that could kill him.

"This pot of tea cannot be sent by King Yan," he frowned, placed the tray on a wooden table next to him, and asked in a cold voice, "Tell me the truth, Who asked you to send it to me?"

Hearing his words, the maid couldn't help but trembled, but she still said with a slightly trembling voice, "It's the king."

"Lying is a bad habit," Gu Xu said as he took out a rusty copper coin from his pocket, "You may not know that I am more than just a Talisman Master. He is still an amateur fortune teller.

“Whether you are telling the truth or not, I will know once I try. "

He silently recited the names of "Tai Shang Haotian" and "Emperor Zi Wei" in his heart, and threw the copper coin into the air.

When it fell back into his hand, the reverse side Upward.

"God told me that you just lied to me," Gu Xu looked at the trembling maid with half-smiling eyes, "I will give you another chance to tell the truth. ”

The little maid did not say a word, but turned around and ran away.< /p>

But as an ordinary person with no cultivation, how could she run away easily under Gu Xu's eyes

Gu Xu took out a bag from "Xianyunju" He opened the "Binding Talisman" and threw it at her, tripping her to the ground in an instant, and then tied her into a rice dumpling.

At this time, the guards from the Dayan Palace hurriedly arrived. .

They looked at the little maid twisting and struggling on the ground, and then looked at Gu Xu standing aside, with surprised eyes.

"Sir, what just happened. What?"

"She was instigated by someone with evil intentions and wanted to harm me. " Gu Xu replied.

Before he finished speaking, the little maid no longer tried to hide it, but shouted in a hysterical voice with tears in her eyes, "You are a bastard who colludes with ghosts, you are the public enemy of Qi people. I want you to die if my tribe in Luojing is dead.”

The guards looked at the little maid, then at Gu Xu, and felt that the hatred between Gu Xu and Da Qi was really deep, even one of them The underage girl had to do everything possible to deal with him.

The leading guard stepped forward, grabbed the rope and lifted the little maid up from the ground.

"Sir, today. When such a situation occurs, it is our dereliction of duty." He nodded to Gu Xu with a respectful attitude, "The king once gave us an order to do our best to ensure your safety. We'll take her to the dungeon for interrogation. "

"I think this matter is not that simple," Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, "If she was ordered by the Qi court, then this plan would be too clumsy. With the style of Princess Zhaoning in Luojing, if she wanted to deal with me, she would definitely send a large group of monks from the fifth and sixth realms to surround me, and maybe even invite saints and strong men to suppress the formation, in order to protect me.Nothing is lost.

"How come we only sent a lonely little girl?"

Having said this, he walked to the table next to the door, opened the lid of the teapot, and observed carefully.

The tea is made from flowers and exudes a light sweet aroma. It has no strange color or odor and seems to have no problem at all.

If Gu Xu was just an ordinary fourth-level monk, without the intuition of danger given to him by the "astrolabe", there would be a high probability that he would be attacked without realizing it.

But when he once again performed divination on copper coins, the divination results clearly showed that the tea was poisoned.

Gu Xu is well-read and knows that almost all colorless and odorless poisons in the wilderness are extremely rare.

For example, the "Tears of Beauty" in the northwest desert, the "Spring of Rebirth" in the southern valley, and the "Soul Seizing Grass" in the South China Sea Islands, etc., are all rare and hard to buy.

"If this little maid took it upon herself to kill me out of personal hatred, how did she get this expensive poison?"

Gu Xu thought secretly and felt that there must be a rich or noble mastermind behind this matter.

The man had an extraordinary identity, was unwilling to expose himself, and did not fully understand Gu Xu’s methods.

"Who could it be?"

An answer quickly emerged in Gu Xu's mind.

A few minutes later, Zhao Yan came from the other end of the corridor with several guards in black.

She walked in a hurry, her eyebrows were furrowed, and her beautiful eyes were full of worry.

"Are you okay," she said as soon as she saw Gu Xu She looked him up and down, fearing that he was missing an arm or a leg, "I just heard someone report that someone wants to harm you."
