Chapter 1827: Shocking Change
Before Fei Qing led Chu Huan and his party to a mansion, Chu Huan saw that this mansion was very magnanimous, with high walls and courtyards, guards in front of the door, and two stone carved unicorns squatting in front of the door, very mighty, but Chu Huan could also see that these two stone unicorns were obviously released recently, and the foundation was still new.
Fei Qing seems to be quite powerful, but his entry into the palace is unimpeded.
Entering the palace, I only saw Feicai gilding, brilliant brilliance, Qionglou Jade Pavilion, secluded paths, unusually beautiful and extravagant, and Chu Huan could also see that these were obviously not long decorated, and even the stone slabs on the ground were very exquisite.
Although Fei Qing came to arrest Chu Huan and others, he was not too lazy, except for paying the weapons of Chu Huan and others, there was no binding, and after passing through the two courtyards, he entered an archway, which was indeed full of flowers, full of greenery, surrounded by strange flowers and plants, fragrant and fragrant, which made people feel refreshed and happy.
If it were a different time, Chu Huan might have really taken a closer look, but at this time, he didn't have that thought, just thinking about what kind of medicine was sold in this Xu Chang's gourd.
He has a plan in his heart, if Xu Chang really wants to do something to himself, then be patient first, and only have a chance when he sees Xu Chang, although he doesn't know much about Xu Chang, but he is also confident that with his martial arts, as a last resort, he will capture the king first and catch Xu Chang, so as to get out of the crowd safely.
Everywhere he passed, every few steps, there were heavily armed soldiers, Xu Chang obviously took his own safety very seriously, both inside and outside the palace, he was heavily guarded.
After seeing the courtyard full of flowers and greenery, Chu Huan had already frowned, only to see that in the open space not far ahead, there were several guillotines placed, and the guillotines were all opened, at this time it was already dark, and there was a circle of soldiers standing in front of him, holding the saber on his waist with one hand and holding a torch in the other, illuminating it as bright as day, and the fire shone on the edge of the guillotine, flashing with a cold cold light.
Chu Huan and Ximen Yi couldn't help but glance at each other, they were all surprised in their hearts, looking at this formation, Xu Chang actually seemed to have really moved the killing intent.
"Nioh, Ximen Yi and his retinue are all brought, and not a single one is missed." Fei Qing stepped forward and said to a figure, at this time Chu Huan had already discovered that a person was wearing a yellow robe, wearing a golden crown, a jade belt around his waist, and was carrying his hands with his back to this side, Chu Huan heard Fei Qing speak, and knew that this person should be Xu Chang, the king of benevolence.
"Bring it on!" Fei Qing waved his hand, and all the soldiers suddenly raised their guns and forced Chu Huan and the others to step forward, Fei Qing said coldly: "You all stand up, if you don't want to die, don't move." ”
Chu Huan and Ximen Yi glanced at each other, a group of six people stood in a row, Ximen Yi and Chu Huan stood in the middle, Ma Zheng and the others were separated from each other, and the Jinling soldiers were standing behind Chu Huan and the others, with spears facing everyone's backs, but only a few inches away.
"When the king hears that you are coming, let him be entertained properly, and he must not neglect it in the slightest." A deep voice came, it was the voice of the golden-crowned man, "The king of Chu is against Qin, this king admires him very much, so he is also very polite to his envoy, no matter what the king of Chu sends you to do, whether it is successful or not, this king will not slack off." ”
Ximen Yi said lightly: "Since this is the case, I don't know what Nioh means?" ”
"There are not many brothers and sisters in this king." Nioh Xu Chang ignored Ximen Yi's words, "Now the only thing left is only one younger brother." We came from poverty, our parents also went early, all along, my younger brother and this king depended on each other, we joined the army together, fought bloody battles on the battlefield, fought for military merits, and wanted to get ahead! ”
Ximen Yi and others were even more surprised, and they didn't know why Xu Chang talked about family life.
"Even on the battlefield, my younger brother also followed the king, and thanks to this, he saved my life on the battlefield several times." Xu Chang said slowly: "So this king has already sworn that he will not only give Xu Yu glory and wealth, but also keep him safe and sound." Speaking of this, the man slowly turned around, and by the light of the fire, Chu Huan and the others could see clearly that this person was in his forties, and his appearance was seven or eight points similar to the Liang Guogong Xu Yu he had seen before, but the edges and corners of this person's face were more prominent, like a knife, hard and cold, showing this person's extremely tenacious will, and those eyes were as black as ink, cold to the bone, and when he looked at it, his eyes were as sharp as a blade.
When Chu Huan saw this person's appearance, he applauded a little in his heart, judging from his appearance, this Xu Chang really had the temperament of a strong man in the northern country.
"Nioh's brotherly affection is admirable." Seeing Xu Chang's indifferent expression, Ximen Yi faintly felt that something was wrong, but he still arched his hand and said: "At dusk, I also met Liang Guogong, Guogong said that Nioh was busy with affairs and could not meet immediately, I thought it would take a day or two to see Nioh, but I didn't expect that Nioh would be summoned tonight." He glanced at the soldiers gathered around, swept over the swords, and said with a faint smile: "I just don't understand, what does Nioh mean by this?" ”
"Lift it up!" Xu Chang didn't answer, facing Ximen Yi, his eyes were like knives, his hands were behind his back, and he said coldly.
Soon, he saw four burly soldiers carrying a stretcher over, Chu Huan took a closer look, his heart sank, and his pupils contracted slightly, but he had already seen that on that stretcher, it was suddenly Liang Guogong Xu Yu.
It seemed that it was intentional, and the four soldiers walked in front of Chu Huan and the others carrying stretchers, and Ximen Yi, Ma Zheng and others also recognized them at this time, and they all changed color.
Chu Huan saw that Xu Yu was still wearing the same clothes that he went to the post house today, and he didn't even take off the ring on his hand, but at this moment he was lying on the stretcher, motionless, and his face was actually black, although Xu Yu's skin was already a little dark, but now his skin was like charcoal ink, not only his skin was dark, but his face was swollen, and there were even blood stains overflowing from the corners of his mouth.
Chu Huan gasped in his heart, he could naturally see that Xu Yu was obviously dead, and it seemed that he had been poisoned.
Xu Yu only went to the post house at dusk, and since he left, it was not even two hours, Chu Huan never expected that in this short period of time, Xu Yu would have become a dead man.
He had already understood at this time that Xu Chang made a big move, sent troops to arrest his own people, and set up the terrifying formation in front of him, which was obviously related to Xu Yu's death.
Xu Chang's knife-like gaze swept over Chu Huan and the others, and his gaze finally fell on Ximen Yi, and asked, "Ximen Yi, do you recognize the person on the stretcher?" ”
"Yes." Ximen Yi's expression was solemn, "This is Liang Guogong, who is also the younger brother of King Ren, less than two hours ago, I had tea with Guogong in the post house." ”
Xu Chang smiled coldly, and his voice was indifferent: "Then do you know that he left the post house, and before he had walked a street, he fell from his horse and died of poisoning." ”
"This!" Ximen Yi shook his head.
Xu Chang said again: "Then do you know that before he died, he only said four words!" ”
"Four words?" Ximen Yi asked, "Please also ask King Ni for advice!" ”
"Tea is poisonous!" Xu Chang sighed, but stepped forward, stood on the edge of the stretcher, stretched out a hand, and gently stroked Xu Yu's hair for a moment before looking up and saying, "You just said that in the post house, you and Xu Yu drank tea together?" ”
"Exactly."
Xu Chang sneered: "Tang Qinghe! ”
A person immediately turned out next to him and knelt on the ground: "The lower official is here!" ”
Chu Huan and the others recognized it, but this Tang Qinghe was the official who received the envoy, and when Liang Guogong went to the post house, Tang Qinghe was also accompanied by him.
"What happened, you tell me the truth." Xu Chang said lightly.
Tang Qinghe said loudly: "Back to King Ren, Grandpa Guo did discuss with Ximen Yi in the hall, Grandpa Guo drank tea first, and asked Ximen Yi if the tea here was not to his taste." ”
"What did Ximen Yi say?"
Without waiting for Tang Qinghe to speak, Ximen Yi had already sighed: "I said that Jinling tea is famous in the world, and after arriving in Jinling, I drank a lot!" ”
"Do you have tea?"
Ximen Yi shook his head and said, "There is too much tea in the stomach, and it is difficult to drink more." If you drink too much, it is not a tea, but a cow drink. ”
"What a cow drink." Xu Chang laughed, but the laughter was as piercing as a blade, "Ximen Yi is a good man, Xu Yu was poisoned by drinking tea in the post house, how do you explain it?" ”
Ximen Yi shook his head and said, "I can't explain it, and this matter has nothing to do with us." ”
Xu Chang snorted coldly and said, "You mean, Xu Yu drank tea with you, you didn't get a drop of water, but Xu Yu was poisoned and died, and it has nothing to do with you?" ”
"That's what I mean." Ximen Yi nodded and said: "Nioh should know that although we are in the post house, the post house is Nioh's territory, and the waiters in the post house are all people arranged by Nioh, and the tea that was brought up at that time was the servant of the post house, and it did not go through our hands, not to mention that we will never harm Liang Guogong, even if we really have such evil intentions, how can we have the opportunity to poison?" Nioh should start his investigation with the servants in the inn. ”
"Well said." Xu Chang clapped his hands and said: "Since Chu Huan sent you to be a messenger, your eloquence is naturally excellent, but even if you are iron-toothed and copper-toothed, this king will convince you." This king will do things to convince people with reason, and before he sends you to the guillotine, he will naturally let you have nothing to say. He said in a deep voice: "Someone! ”
A soldier came forward with a tray with two tea cups in it, Xu Chang stretched out his hand, picked up the two tea cups one after another, and drank half a cup of tea in each tea cup.
At this moment, I heard a cry not far away: "Let go of me, let go of me!" Chu Huan and the others followed the prestige, only to see that not far away, two soldiers escorted a man in white prison clothes over, the man was unkempt, and seemed to be a prisoner from the prison.
Xu Chang put the two cups of tea on the tray and waved his hand, and the soldier walked over to the prisoner with the tray.
"After drinking these two cups of tea, you can be set free." The soldier holding the tray looked coldly at the prisoner, who had just seen Xu Chang drink two cups of tea, hesitated, suddenly reached out, picked up the two cups of tea, and poured them down.
He put the teacup back on the tray and said, "I've drunk it, you guys have to let me go!" ”
The soldier nodded, and the two soldiers put away their swords and shouted in a deep voice, "Don't get out of here." ”
The prisoner was so surprised that without saying a word, he raised his leg and ran, but before he had gone ten paces, he suddenly fell to the ground, struggled and convulsed in agony on the ground, and for a moment remained motionless. R1058
