Chen Shubao was actually already drowsy, especially when he found out that what Li Xinchen said after he came was the same as what Xiao Maha and others said before, and it didn't mean anything. Therefore, at this time, he was not very interested in staying and listening to what Li Xinchen said, and before Chen Yu stepped forward, he stretched his waist and stood up first and walked to the backyard.

In order to facilitate the comings and going, a hole was directly punched in the wall in front of the Xiliang Prince's Mansion where Chen Shubao lived and the Jiangling Governor's Mansion where Xiao Maha lived, so Chen Shubao could go directly through Xiao Maha's mansion and go back to where he lived.

At the same time as Chen Shubao left, Li Xinchen also walked over and closed the door of the council hall, and when he turned around, only Xiao Maha and Zhou Qu were still left in the council hall, and of course Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie.

In other words, these few talents present are the core of the power of the East Palace in the entire Jiangling City, and they can even be said to be the controllers of more than half of the power in the hands of the East Palace. If a meteor falls from the sky at this time and directly collapses this hall, I am afraid that Chen Shuling, the assassin of Yangzhou, will be able to wake up laughing when he sleeps.

Li Xinchen's expression became more solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Although Chen Shuling did not finally put the crown prince to death this time, the black-clothed killer he sent exposed some problems. For example, the arrows they use, the poison smeared on them is enough to kill them in one hit, which is indeed not simple. ”

Xiao Maha frowned, he had heard Xiao Shilian say about this matter before, but at that time, Li Xinchen and Le Chang's whereabouts were unknown, so he didn't care about these at all, and when he encountered a damn black-clothed killer, of course, he would kill him first.

Now that Li Xinchen has mentioned it, Xiao Maha can't help but feel alert.

As a standard science student, Li Xinchen certainly knows that there are not many deadly things, even in ancient times when science and technology were not developed, there were still mercury, crane top red and the like, but these things not only have enough requirements for dosage, but also have a period of time to react with the human body after human contact, and they will not die in an instant.

In Li Xinchen's impression, the only thing that can cause human organ lesions and physiological death so quickly is probably the sap of the blood-sealed throat tree. This venom contains a number of lethal components that can kill a person in a very short period of contact with blood, similar to the venom smeared on the arrows used by the black-clad killers.

"This kind of poison that seals the throat with blood, Yu has also seen it in a curious book before." Zhou Qu also cheered up at this time, and also realized that things were far from being as simple as he imagined, "This kind of tree is only found in Lingnan and Zhuya, so not many people know about it, and it is rumored that because the sap of this tree is highly poisonous, the tribes in the mountains and forests of Lingnan generally do not allow outsiders to approach these trees······"

"Lingnan ······" Xiao Maha muttered, rubbing his chin slightly.

Lingnan in this era was not a semi-civilized place like the early years of the Qin and Han dynasties, or a forgotten place. With the Jin Dynasty crossing to the south three hundred years ago, for a time, the people of the southern family were like carp crossing the river, and there was an endless stream.

This also led to the original sparsely populated southeast land naturally became precious, thus further promoting the development of the Lingnan zone, at least now Nanchen has a complete governance system in Lingnan, and at the same time maintains a certain vassal relationship with those tribes in the mountains, and those tribes are nominally under the control of the Nanchen court.

And if you really want to talk about it, Chen Baxian raised troops from Jiaozhou in Lingnan back then, and his official title at that time was Jiaozhou Sima of Southern Liang. The tribes of Lingnan provided Chen Baxian with a lot of help at that time, so that Chen Baxian could quickly stabilize Jiaozhou, and then he could go north to fight Hou Jing.

Therefore, these tribes in Lingnan are definitely not isolated goods who have always lived in the mountains, they were able to help Chen Ba pacify Jiaozhou and even the entire Jiangnan in one fell swoop, so as to obtain the peaceful coexistence of the Chen Dynasty and them, and now they can naturally be more deeply involved in the political tide of Nanchen, so as to gain more benefits and development space!

Li Xinchen didn't know whether these Lingnan tribes had been used by Chen Shuling in history, but at this time, he was sure that Chen Shuling and these Lingnan tribes who had access to the bloody throat sealing wood must have colluded, and even the two sides had established a basic cooperative relationship.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for these Lingnan tribes to easily hand over the poisonous juice of the bloody throat sealing wood to Chen Shuling, after all, if they want to really track it down, it is really easy to trace it to their heads.

Now that Chen Ji is still alive, the East Palace may not have a way to do anything to Chen Shuling, but it does not mean that there is no way to put small shoes on these Lingnan tribes. Therefore, while handing over the blood throat sealing wood poison juice, it also means that these Lingnan tribes have been involved in this whirlpool, and there is no way to get out.

Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie were a little surprised, they never thought that it was just an intrigue between a few high-level people in Nan Chen, but now it was so involved.

"Yangzhou Assassin Shi feels threatened, and he will definitely not sit still, so it is reasonable to hook up with Lingnan." Zhou Qu said coldly.

After a pause, Zhou Cheng said even more worriedly: "And this time, Wei Chi Hui also sent a lot of his subordinates to take the lead, won't it ······."

Xiao Maha frowned slightly, rubbing his chin slightly.

This time, Huarong Dao was in distress, and even damaged Mao Xi, firstly, because the betrayal of the prince Wei rate came suddenly, which was indeed unexpected by everyone at that time, and secondly, because these Northern Zhou scouts who appeared first disrupted Nan Chen's arrangement.

Otherwise, if these are simply those people in black, although the matter is thrilling, whether it is Li Xinchen or Xiao Shilian who is present, they are still confident that they will be wiped out.

So not to mention Zhou Qu, the rest of the people present obviously also doubted that Wei Chi and the entire Northern Zhou would collude with Chen Shuling. A puppet Xiliang that they were able to raise through the support of the Southern Liang clan before, now they can naturally repeat their old tricks.

One after another, eyes were fixed on Li Xinchen, wanting to consult his opinion. Now there is obviously a strange balance in the entire council hall, Xiao Maha, who represents the military general system of the East Palace, and Zhou Zhen, who represents the civil official system, will definitely have conflicts and contradictions in various aspects because of the different starting points and the different classes they represent.

And now the East Palace is the time when it is necessary to be unanimous with the outside world, and this kind of conflict and contradiction is not something that anyone wants to see, so this requires compromise and concession on one side. However, no matter who takes a step back first, it may cause dissatisfaction among his subordinates, so often Xiao Maha and Zhou Qu will reach an impasse when they discuss and discuss.

At this time, it is natural to need a person who can convince the public to stand up and explain his reasoning clearly, no matter which side he is on, at least the other side can also follow the water and listen to the opinion. Obviously, in the entire East Palace system, Li Xinchen is naturally the most suitable candidate.
