chapter 49 – planting poison

This is a world of natural selection, in order to explore in the layers of reeds in the North Sea, in order to have the right to be the first to eat among the wolves on the grassland, it is necessary for them to abandon the so-called “fragile emotions”, saints have no feelings, the most people have no heart, but not so not enough to transcend.

The courtyard of the city lord’s mansion is quiet, the ground of the corpse blood pools are the previous shock, crowded to both sides of the courtyard wall below, as if by the hand of the gods swept through a like, the blood turned into a brush was extremely appropriate red paint, above the fall of a few pieces of freshly fallen green leaves.

With these few green leaves as the boundary, four Gu Jian and shadow of this pair of brothers, each sitting under the stone steps of the two sides, seriously injured speechless, indifference to look at each other.

Just at this moment, outside the city master’s mansion suddenly came dense whistling wind sound, like a dozen stone throwing machine, at the same time on the city master’s mansion launched an attack, millstone big stone, cut the air.

Si Gu Jian’s face was unchanged, Shadow’s face was unchanged, Fan Xian was walking towards Shadow at this time, and his face did not change a bit, because these three people all heard it clearly, it was not the stones that broke through the air, but the people, it seemed to be the bloodshed in the City Lord’s Mansion, which finally alarmed the experts who were obsessed with guarding outside the Sword Lodge.

The little emperor of Northern Qi came to Dongyi City, bringing Wolf Peach and Taoist He, the two ninth grade masters, as for whether there are any hidden masters of Tianyi Dao Sect hiding in the shadows to escort them, it is unknown. And since yesterday, all the disciples of the Sword Lodge, have returned from their respective cultivation places and guarded the front of the Sword Lodge, silently waiting for the master’s decree.

Both sides together, surprisingly there are more than a dozen ninth grade masters, think about the entire Qing Dynasty Kyoto, now there are only two ninth grade on the strong, let a person have to feel a trace of amazement and envy to the East Barbarians City this special. So many experts broke through the air in unison at this time, the momentum was indeed somewhat shocking.

The wind between the field swirled, and Yun Zhilan and Wolf Peach led the people, just like that, swept above the blood-filled water. These two frowned and subconsciously looked at their feet, then took a good look at the scene in the mansion, while finding the person they cared about most.

Wolf Peach saw His Majesty the Emperor and realized that His Majesty seemed to be unharmed, only his face was a bit pale, so he was overjoyed and brought his subordinates to surround the young Emperor, making sure to keep him safe, while at the same time casting a wary gaze, towards Fan Xian.

On the other side, Yun Zhilan saw the stone steps under the serious injury of the four Gu sword, but was shocked by the color of the face changed dramatically, hurriedly ran over, less than words, both knees thumped on the ground, kneeling down.

The sword hut first disciple, simply can not hide his face strange, not care about the master of the Lord will punish themselves afterwards, since he dared to go against the master’s intention, and the North Qi people secretly trading, a sword heart has long been prepared, at this time looked at the tragic scene in the city master’s mansion, looking at the dead city master of the Lord as well as those who are in the master of the house, he naturally knew who was out of the hand.

Since the Master Lord personally made a move, it naturally showed his attitude, what shocked Yun Zhilan was that the Master Lord would be injured so badly!

All the disciples of the Sword Lodge knelt down beside Siguru Sword, looking at their master’s injuries with shock, with anger.

In the hearts of these people, the only ones in this world that could be compared to the Master Teacher were those Great Masters, even though the Master Teacher had been injured for three years, the only ones that could harm him were still the Emperor of the Kingdom of Qing, and that unknown Ye Liuyun.

A Sword Lodge disciple, began to tremble his hands to bandage the injuries for the Four Gu Swords, in his heart, the master is a god-like character, especially in the word sword, is the absolute number one in the world, but today will actually be stabbed twice in a row on the chest, who actually made the move?

The door to the backyard of the city lord’s mansion moved slightly, the sword lodge second disciple helped Wang XIII Lang to walk in, they saw the scene in front of them, they also couldn’t help but be shocked, especially Wang XIII Lang, his residual poison has not yet been cleared, and last night forcibly brought up the realm, the executive willows forcefully blocked the crowd, and helped Fan Xian to enter the sword lodge, the whole person has already exhausted to the extreme, if not the second elder brother helped him, he was afraid that he would not be able to arrive at the city lord’s mansion in time at this moment.

Last night, inside the Sword Lodge, the spring was melting, but outside the Sword Lodge, the sword was tense, everyone knew that this Sword Lodge Thirteenth Disciple was Fan Xian’s close friend, while Fan Xian was holding the Emperor of Beiqi hostage and breaking into the sacrosanct Sword Lodge, so everyone’s hostility was directed towards Wang Thirteenth Lang.

If the second disciple of the Sword Lodge hadn’t indifferently defended him, and Yun Zhilan hadn’t been able to let Wolf Peach and the others do it for the sake of his master’s dignity, I’m afraid that today’s Wang XIII Lang would only be able to lie in bed.

Of course, the reason why Wang XIII Lang can be in so many experts under the siege of the confrontation, still remain safe, the most critical is still that leaf, that branch, the hut in the sword saint adults have already demonstrated the attitude of the sword hut in the disciples who had already fallen to the side of the cloud Zhilan, but also only to maintain neutrality.

Wang Thirteen Lang knelt beside the Four Gu Swords, his lips trembling slightly, unable to say anything. He hadn’t glanced at Fan Xian since he entered the City Lord’s Mansion because his emotions were complicated. All of this matter was explained by his master, so he had helped Fan Xian enter the Lodge, and had thought that his master would have a very harmonious conversation with young Lord Fan, but he had not thought that his master would be injured like this!

All of the disciples of the Sword Lodge knew the strength of the City Lord’s Mansion, and knew the terror of the sword in Lord Master’s hand, so it was quite natural to think that the one who had struck out to injure Master was definitely not someone in the City Lord’s Mansion, but rather, it was someone from Nan Qing.

It was Fan Xian’s people.

Yun Zhilan was the first to stand up, coldly looking at Fan Xian and the man in black by the stone steps, gradually, the pupils of his eyes iced over, and his gaze crossed over to Fan Xian and looked at the man in black, and his eyes shifted from icy cold to blazing hot again.

He knew that man in black, and could even be said to be very familiar with him, because four years ago at the lake in Hangzhou, Jiangnan, Southern Qing Dynasty, this man in black had risen up out of the lake and stabbed himself on the side of a small boat, and then the two of them had engaged in a hunt and be hunted in the Jiangnan area that had stretched out over several months.

Yun Zhilan knew the strength of this black-clothed man, and even he had always believed that, apart from his master teacher, this black-clothed man had the most powerful and sinister swordsmanship in the entire world, even more so than himself.

Yun Zhilan was already a strong person of the ninth rank, so he knew to what extent that man in black was powerful, he did not need to think much to know that at this moment in the field, the only one who could use a sword to hurt Master Teacher was that man in black.

He slowly drew the long sword at his waist, and step by step walked towards the stone steps over there, the distance between each step was so fixed, no more, no less, exactly two feet.

The sword in his hand was three feet.

The distance between him and the shadow was thirty feet.

“The true master of the legendary Six Divisions of the Inspectorate, Lord Shadow.” Yun Zhilan said indifferently as he walked on one side, “This is the first time I’ve seen your true face.”

Yun Zhilan took five steps that way, getting closer and closer to the stone steps over there, and the sword intent on his body grew thicker and thicker, with more and more killing intent. Regardless of how this Sword Lodge Head Disciple differed from his own master-admiral with regards to the future of Dongyi City, when a foreign enemy attacked, when the Southern Qing people dared to injure his own master-admiral, Yun Zhilan’s chest was filled with murderous intent, and he had to cut the other party down under his own sword.

If the other party is still intact at this time, Yun Zhilan does not have much confidence, but he knows, even if that black-robed man, may take advantage of the situation that the master did not pay attention to, secretly killed, stabbed the master two swords, but the other party must have also paid a great price for it.

Sword Lodge disciples, deeply imbued with the Four Guards Sword Mind, do not care about such things as bullying the weak.

Under the big green tree, the little Emperor of Northern Qi looked at this scene with a pale face, not knowing whether the two sides, the Sword Lodge and Southern Qing, would clash next, not knowing how Fan Xian would deal with these things. In her opinion, even if the Four Gu Swords wanted to reach an agreement with Southern Qing, she was only afraid that with the blood-craving character of this great master, he would not be able to allow that black-clothed man, whom Yun Zhilan had called the Shadow hosted by the Six Divisions of the Supervisory Yuan, to leave alive.

Suddenly, the young emperor seemed to remember something, thinking of the two words mentioned within the earlier words of the Four Gu Swords, his eyes brightened, and on his pale cheeks, there was more than a hint of redness.

Fan Xian was half-kneeling by Shadow’s side, treating the wounds on his body. The countless bloody cuts that had been slashed out by the sword qi were still seeping blood outwards, but fortunately, the official uniform of the Supervisory Court really did have a few effects, and those bloody cuts were not deeply broken, and didn’t require any special treatment, so with Shadow’s strong body, he should be able to stop the bleeding.

The biggest problem was in the shadow’s body, Fan Xian’s palm rested on his back, slowly entering a complex of natural true qi from the Heavenly Dao, carefully checking the situation inside, his face becoming more and more grave, a moment later, he took out a grain of medicine from his bosom and fed it into the shadow’s lips, then his palms pressed together and began to heal his injuries.

The night before, he had treated Thirteen Lang’s wounds, yesterday he had a desperate fight with the Wolf Peach people, and last night he had a bed fight with the little emperor, Fan Xian had been exhausted to the extreme, but he knew that if he didn’t hurry up and get started at this time, he was afraid that Shadow would die because of the internal hemorrhaging.

After the incident at the Hanging Temple, Shadow had been with Fan Xian for four years, and had never left, although he was in a superior-subordinate relationship, and there wasn’t much involvement with the term “friend,” Fan Xian knew that he couldn’t live without this person, which was a kind of affectionate feeling that naturally arises after a long period of time when one’s life is entrusted to the same person.

Fan Xian lowered his eyes, but he could also hear Yun Zhilan’s steady footsteps getting closer and closer, and after a moment, he slowly lowered his hands, stood up, and looked at Yun Zhilan and said, “Do you still want to kill me?”

Yun Zhilan was silent for a moment before saying, “Your death or life will be determined by the Master, but this person, he must die.”

Fan Xian didn’t think about anything as he slowly took off the long shirt he was wearing, revealing a pure black power suit inside, before bending down and pulling out his black dagger from between his boots.

He stood in front of the shadow.

Fan Xian stood out, and the atmosphere in the entire courtyard changed. From the beginning to the end of today, he hadn’t really put up a fight, and the only thing he had lost was his spirit, the countless spirits that had been worn down by the powerful will of the Four Guards Sword, however, at this moment, standing in front of the Shadow, Fan Xian’s spirit seemed to have returned to his body in an instant, cold, speechless, and exceptionally powerful.

It was like facing Yan Xiaoyi back then.

Everyone knew how powerful Fan Xian was, today’s Southern Qing powerhouse had long since ceased to be the youthful figure who had first entered the Ninth Grade when he had gone on a mission to Northern Qi back then, but was a solid upper Ninth Grade powerhouse who had killed Yan Xiaoyi without a sound, killed Master Qin in Kyoto, retreated from Hai Tang in the grasslands, and had marvelously and incomparably escaped from a siege by several Ninth Grade masters on two separate occasions yesterday-… -In the history of past encounters with Ninth Grade powerhouses, Fan Xian had won a complete victory without exception.

This is not the name of a person, the shadow of a tree, but the accumulation of real confidence, even if at this moment facing the sword lodge head disciple Yun Zhilan, Fan Xian’s heart still does not have a trace of fear, but only indifferently looking at the other party, the meaning of which is expressed very clearly, want to kill my subordinates, you have to let me kill them first.

Fan Xian and Yun Zhilan stood face to face, yet behind Yun Zhilan, more people stood up. Sword Lodge a total of thirteen disciples, today all present, stood up but six people, however it is these six people, the body penetrated by the stern sword intent, and the sword blade where the cloud of Lan a fusion, suddenly will go out, hit Fan Xian face slightly white.

There are also several sword lodge disciples kneeling at the side of the four gu sword, hands and feet busy, heart trembling with fear and trembling to serve, including the sword lodge three disciples and four disciples who once ambushed Fan Xian in the plum nursery courtyard, the reason why these two sword lodge masters did not stand up is very complicated, because they know that both Fan Xian and that black clothed man …… will be four gu sword.

This matter they didn’t tell Yun Zhilan, because the involvement was too great, they were prepared to secretly report to the master teacher, but they didn’t realize that there were too many things that happened in the past two days, so they didn’t find any opportunity to do so.

Their hearts were shocked, and they kept guessing what kind of relationship there was between the man in black at the bottom of the stone steps over there and the Master Teacher, and why the other party was able to injure the Master Teacher.

Wang Thirteen Lang did not stand up either, he did not go to look at Fan Xian, his heart was a bit messy, he did not understand what had happened, he just vaguely guessed a hint of a hidden secret, but he was unable to open his mouth.

Yun Zhilan didn’t know all this, back then, the cold-blooded assassination between Jiangnan and Shadow was often just a matter of moments, Shadow also kept a hand at that time, and didn’t show his own overwhelming mastery.

He just looked at Fan Xian, then gripped the sword in his hand.

Over there, under the big green tree, the Wolf Peach Lord, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly tightened his tail finger, and the metal chain hanging between his wrists suddenly tightened.

At that moment, a slightly cool hand rested on Wolf Peach’s wrist, stopping him from striking.

Wolf Peach slightly stared at his majesty who stopped him, not knowing what he meant, thinking that this was a rare opportunity for Da Qi, originally, Nan Qing and Si Gu Jian were about to reach an agreement, however, at this time, it was Nan Qing’s side that had stabbed Si Gu Jian, if at this time, he helped Yun Zhilan to take down or kill Fan Xian, and then killed the black-clothed man who had stabbed Si Gu Jian, the relationship between Dongyi City and Nan Qing would surely be broken completely.

And as a martial artist, Wolf Peach was indeed curious as to who that man in black really was, could it really be the rumored number one assassin in the world, the Shadow of the Inspectorate? Could this assassin really be so powerful to such an extent that he was actually able to injure the Four Gu Swords?

The young emperor smiled faintly, looking at the scene of swords drawn by the stone steps, and said softly, ”Believe me, they can’t fight. If that’s the case, why do we need to be the bad guys?”

The atmosphere of the scene, however, did not allow the parties involved to have this judgment of the Little Emperor, and against the superimposed sword intent of the seven Ninth Grade experts, even Fan Xian began to feel difficulty in breathing, and the cold sweat that had just dried up not long ago began to trickle down along his back again.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel a bit aghast, this place, the Sword Lodge, was indeed too strange, with so many Ninth Grade experts, if Nan Qing couldn’t come to an agreement with Dong Yi City and really sent out their troops to attack, I’m afraid that those marshals leading the army would have to face attacks in the darkness of the night for all eternity.

Sword intent filled the air for a moment, and Fan Xian knew that if he really moved, he would only be hard pressed to get out alive again. Suddenly the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he tilted his head with a smile, skimming his gaze over Yun Zhilan’s iron-sharpened shoulders, looking down the stone steps at the Sigu Sword, and opening his mouth, he said, “When it comes to one’s own affairs, do you really want outsiders to meddle in them?”

These words fell on different people’s ears and had completely different meanings. Yun Zhilan thought that Fan Xian was talking about the people of Northern Qi, and indifferently opened his mouth to say, “The disciples of the Sword Lodge are sufficient, and don’t need the help of friends from the north.”

Wolf Peach said with a slight smile under the big green tree, “If young Lord Fan survives, I will personally challenge you.”

Fan Xian, on the other hand, didn’t even care about these two great masters’ replies, and just stared dead at Si Gu Jian at the bottom of the stone steps, because only Si Gu Jian understood the true meaning of his words. This was a war between two brothers, did it really need outsiders to intervene? Earlier, when Shadow had used the Wind and Thunder Sword, Fan Xian had been right behind the wheelchair, but he had only taken the little emperor away instead of combining blows with Shadow.

Fan Xian didn’t intervene, could it be that your Sword Lodge disciples could intervene in your brothers’ feud? Fan Xian was betting on the pride and wildness of the Four Gu Swords, betting that if the Four Gu Swords had left the Shadow alive earlier, there must be a follow-up article that could be done.

Since this was the case, how could Four Gu Swords possibly stand by and watch his disciples, for the sake of revenge, miss his grand plan.

The Four Gu Swords raised his eyes slightly, smiled, and sighed somewhat regretfully, as if he was regretting that Fan Xian had guessed his own mind, and therefore was unable to see Fan Xian’s true caliber.

This Grand Master glanced at the disciples kneeling beside him in disgust and cursed in a sandy voice, “Old me isn’t dead, so what’s the rush to howl in mourning?” Strangely enough, as he cursed like this, the disciples beside him were happy and hurriedly stood up.

Four Gu Swords immediately raised his left arm up and glanced at Wang XIII Lang. This action was familiar to Wang XIII Lang, when he went down Da Dong Mountain, this was how he carried it, and after he returned to Dong Yi City, he still carried it this way, so he naturally squatted down.

Si Gu Jian leaned towards the young apprentice’s broad and solid back, twisted his head comfortably and said, “Return to the lodge.”

Wang Thirteen Lang answered in a muffled voice, then stood up with his skinny master on his back and walked towards the outside of the sword hut. It was just that his body was already as bad as it could be, and the several senior brothers beside him hurriedly supported him and left together.

The Four Gu Swords left just like that, leaving nothing behind but a field of shock and eyes. Fan Xian looked at Yun Zhilan, who was close at hand, and said, “Everyone Yun, you have already disobeyed Lord Sword Saint several times, do you want to do it one more time.”

Yun Zhilan was silent for a long time, glanced at the shadow under the stone steps, and said, “Actually, I would like to memorize master, it’s just that I have to memorize a little too many things.”

“There are some things that you don’t need to memorize.” Fan Xian was unfazed and said with a smile, “Because you can’t carry it, crushing you not to mention dropping the things you want to carry, wouldn’t it be all great sorrow?”

Yun Zhilan pondered for a long time, and then took a serious look at the blood and water inside the City Lord’s Mansion as well as those corpses, especially the corpse of the City Lord on the side of the stone steps, and then his face calmed down after a long time, knowing that his own thoughts had all fallen into the void after all, and wondering what kind of magic this Little Lord Fan of the Southern Qing Dynasty had used to not only let the Master Teacher Lord make a move to kill the entirety of the City Lord’s Mansion, but also even after being injured, he was not the least bit cruel to these Southern Qing people without the slightest intention to kill.

In fact, in the end, this sword hut head disciple does not understand the four gu sword, no one in the world can persuade or induce the four gu sword to do what, this great master want to do what to do, all of this, is just his own thoughts.

The Sword Lodge Sect withdrew from the City Lord’s Mansion, leaving only the Northern Qi people and Fan Xian and Shadow in the field. Wolf Peach put his hands behind his back and walked out from under the green tree, looking at Fan Xian and said with a smile, ”Little Lord Fan really is a good tactician, and with just one sentence, he was able to force the Sword Lodge to not be able to make a move. But I’m not an Eastern barbarian, today is a rare opportunity, do you want to spar?”

“One cannot be shameless to this extent.” At this time, Fan Xian was initially out of the danger of sword intent, and his entire body was tired and relaxed, sitting on the stone steps beside the shadow, without lifting his head, he smiled and said, “This is a sentence that your emperor gave to me today, and I’m gifting it back to you.”

“Little Lord Fan, I don’t know who in the world is more shameless.” Wolf Peach behind the scimitar gold chain in the wind slightly rattling, with his steady voice, even more beautiful, “Your sister is my TianDao disciple, but also by the late teacher’s legacy, in charge of the green mountain matters, now Fan sister although returned to the South Qing, but after all, the division of the Taoist lineage is still in the Jun is not miss the old feelings, but also want to think of the division’s righteousness, last year, late in the fall, my disciples of the green mountain in the Western Liang Road died and were badly injured, do you think I will be just like that? Do you think I’ll just leave it like that?”

“So you also knew that they died on the Western Liang Road.” Fan Xian raised his head, two cold lights shot past, and coldly said, “Let’s not talk about what’s wrong with the Bitter Lotus State Master’s posthumous order, even if my sister takes over from Haitang to take charge of your Heavenly Dao Sect in the future, if you Heavenly Dao still dares to mess around in my Southern Qing, I …… will still continue to kill. ”

When these words came out, there was a disturbing clamor under the green tree, and Wolf Peach’s eyebrows wrinkled, wondering why Fan Xian still dared to be so tough in this current urgent situation. Although the disciples of the Sword Lodge are gone, but the Northern Qi experts are still there, the Four Gu Swords, even if they are in the way of something, do not want to kill Fan Xian or that black-clothed expert, but the Northern Qi people move their hands, but there will not be any psychological barriers.

Where does this head disciple of the Heavenly Dao know what happened last night, where can he think that today, Fan Xian looks at these experts of Beiqi as if he were looking at his own subordinates, Your Majesty the Emperor is already my person, and you are far away from becoming my person …… Is it far away?

The young emperor under the green tree smiled and opened his mouth, ”I, Beiqi, have spread my country through poetry and books, so of course I won’t use the many to overpower the few. Lord Wolf Peach, let’s go.”

At these words, instead, Fan Xian’s brows furrowed as he looked at the young emperor and suddenly spoke, “Can you come over here for a moment?”

Speaking in such a tone of voice to a His Majesty, it was indeed rude to the extreme. However, what dazzled the people of Northern Qi was that His Majesty did not get angry and only smiled and said, “What is it that Minister Fan has to do? Let’s talk after you’ve rested.”

Fan Xian saw clearly the indifference between the little emperor’s brows and the slight anger, and knew that the other party was, after all, His Majesty, in front of the courtiers, afraid of any mistakes, his previous words, really is also a bit too much, but could not help but smile to himself and said, “Your Majesty, the foreign minister has something important to report.”

The little emperor was silent for a long time, I don’t know what kind of struggle was going on in her heart. Today, she had seen too many mysterious things that had nothing to do with power, and her mind had been greatly shaken, but at this moment, looking at Fan Xian’s expression, she thought of the even greater shock that her mind had suffered last night.

After a long time, the little emperor opened his mouth indifferently, “You all go out, I have some words to say to Mr. Fan.”

When these words came out, the room was again in an uproar, especially Wolf Peach, who looked back at His Majesty in dismay, not knowing what kind of situation he was in now. Only a few days ago, his majesty made up his mind to join hands with the Sword Lodge Yun Zhilan faction to kill Fan Xian in Dongyi City, and yesterday everyone saw that Fan Xian took his majesty captive into the Sword Lodge, and the hatred between the two sides should not be shared by all, but at this time, looking at these two people’s speech, it is not at all like what the crowd imagined.

He Daoren who had been standing beside the little emperor was also shocked, and glanced at Wolf Peach suspiciously, waiting for him to speak.

Wolf Peach took two deep breaths, waved his hand, and led the crowd out of the City Lord’s Mansion. Regardless of whether he was worried that Fan Xian would be unfavorable to His Majesty, but since His Majesty had given the order from His golden mouth, he, as a subject, could only follow the order.

The City Lord’s Mansion once again returned to peace. Fan Xian stood up, walked to the side of the little emperor, looked at her quietly, and suddenly spoke, “The last things you heard today, don’t say anything about them, or …… I’ll tell what I know as well.”

The young emperor’s face changed slightly, a cold light flashed in the pupils of her eyes, she didn’t expect Fan Xian to guess her thoughts so quickly, didn’t expect Fan Xian to threaten himself with his secrets so directly.

The six divisions of the Supervisory Yuan hosted the youngest brother of the Four Gu Swords, and this matter could be used to play with so much leeway that it could even shake the foundations of the Qing court and create irreconcilable conflicts between the Emperor of Qing and the Supervisory Yuan – the Brocade Guards of Northern Qi were not dry, and a long time ago the young Emperor had learned from Wei Hua’s mouth that back then, the Hanging Temple’s assassination, Emperor Qing had always determined that it was the work of that young brother of the Four Gu Swords who was not heard of in the world.

The little emperor took a deep breath, this secret is too important for Beiqi, can make the Qing country in turmoil, there is no doubt that it can make Beiqi turn over, just …… Fan Xian s hand holds a secret that is enough to make the whole Beiqi upside down.

Her face changed for a long time before she finally said softly, “I know.”

Outside the City Lord’s Mansion, Wolf Peach’s crowd’s faces were also changing, how could they not have imagined that after a night of being anxious outside of the Sword Lodge, constantly worrying about His Majesty’s well-being, in the end, His Majesty actually seemed to be having a pleasant conversation with Fan Xian.

Wolf Peach suddenly shrunk the pupils of his eyes and said, “Send an order back to Nanqing to have Mu Peng rush back.”

Daoist He’s face changed slightly at the side and lowered his voice, “Your Excellency suspects that Fan Xian has planted poison on His Majesty?”

“Fan Xian is the world’s leading expert in the use of poison, if he didn’t plant poison, how could he easily let His Majesty leave, and why was His Majesty willing to agree to stay and have a secret talk with him just now.” The pupils of Wolf Peach’s eyes were filled with anger as he said coldly, word by word, “This person, Fan Xian, is as poisonous as a snake and scorpion, and should not be taken lightly.”

Wolf Peach’s intellectual reaction could not be said to be fast, yet he simply did not know that Mu Pong had already had Fan Xian imprisoned in the seven divisions of the Supervisory Yuan, and he knew even less that Fan Xian had indeed planted poison on the young emperor, but not the kind of poison that would kill, but the poison on his heart, which could not be solved once he tasted it.
