Chapter 1102: Elder Duan took the Immortal Stone
"Shouldn't it work so fast?" Yan Tao also read it twice, Duanmujing hoped that something would work slower, was it highly toxic?
If he was referring to poison, why did he think it was bad to work too quickly?
"Who has Duanmu Jing given this poison to?"
"I—I don't know. The captive was afraid of being tortured again, so he said, "But the number must be very small, I accidentally saw Xu Yingke collecting medicine for Lord Duanmu, and it was only a shallow half a bottle, barely laying the bottom." ”
"Xu Yingke?"
"It's the one who was caught by you this morning and killed himself by poisoning. ”
Yan Tao suddenly remembered something: "By the way, there was originally a guy Wang Shun in Wangjiang Tower, and it is said that he suddenly fell off a cliff two months ago. Do you know how he died?"
The captive didn't think about it and said, "That night, it was his turn to stay in the Chamber of Commerce to serve Lord Duanmu for dinner, and we all left." The next morning I went to the Chamber of Commerce and heard about his death. Although Lord Duanmu didn't say it, we all knew that he definitely didn't fall off a cliff and died. ”
"Lord Duanmu is very sad, and he hasn't eaten well for two days in a row. The captive continued, "After Wang Shun's death, Xu Yingke took his place, but he was not as clever as Wang Shun, otherwise he would not have been and would not have been arrested this time." ”
Yan Tao thought for a while: "Where is the antidote?"
"Antidote, antidote......" the captive muttered two sentences, "Lord Duanmu has handed it over to someone else." ”
"Who?"
"Before the Fang Cai Chamber of Commerce was surrounded, someone jumped into Wangjiang Tower to ask Lord Duanmu for the antidote, saying that his original antidote was lost when he entered the palace. The captive said with difficulty, "The lord threw the stone at him, and said that after soaking in water for two quarters of an hour, it can be turned into an antidote!"
Yan Tao stared: "What stone?"
"A blue stone, transparent, a little bigger than a chestnut. ”
Crystal? No, that's not right. Yan Tao had a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had seen such a thing in Duanmujing's treasure cave, and he was still with the glamorous girl at that time.
"Is it the Stygian Stone?"
"Yes, yes. The captive also remembered, "Duanmu Jing also said that this was the Stygian Stone. ”
It turned out that the antidote had been placed in Wangjiang Tower? Yan Tao was furious and punched him hard in the lower abdomen. The captive spurted out a mouthful of bloody arrows three feet away, and said weakly: "You kill me!"
He also knew that he did not have a life, and he just wanted to be tortured less.
"Answer the questions well, and I'll let you go. Yan Tao said coldly, "Who is the person who took the Immortal Stone!"
"I heard Lord Duanmu call him 'Elder Duan'. ”
Yan Tao's pupils shrank suddenly: "Elder Duan?"
The surname is Duan, and he is an elder, and he still recognizes Duanmujing......
Yan Tao had only one name in his mind:
End side?
Moreover, the captive also said that the man "dropped the antidote when he came back from the palace." It seems that the only person who has been able to enter and leave the palace for a while is this elder of the Sand Sect, right?
A chill welled up in his heart. The elder brother has always suspected that the Duo people are colluding with the Sha Sect, but there is no evidence. Now, it's on the table all of a sudden.
Yan Tao strode up to the second floor of the inn and glanced at the crowd condescendingly.
Looking at the lively civilians below, the crowds were crowded, and he could see it with his eyes, but he didn't see Duanfang's figure.
Just a little bit of effort, slipped?
He thought deeper:
Since Duan Fang has an antidote, he also participated in the plan to murder King Xuan? Was this his idea, or did he join Shazong?
Secondly, is it Duanfang who rescued Mrs. Mu and snatched away Concubine Yu today?
Bacheng is like this, otherwise why would he appear at the scene? This person probably settled the Jade Princess, and then returned to the six small crossings to see the situation.
Yan Tao went downstairs and asked the captive again: "How is the poison made?"
The captive shook his head: "I don't know, what Lord Duanmu took out was a dark green bottle of venom, the quantity was very small, and it was not given to me." Also, he said that there were not a few Immortal Stones left for Elder Duan. ”
Yan Tao nodded, and said Sen Ran: "Very good." ”
He turned his head to the soldiers beside him and said, "Take him into the palace and let him tell the regent everything he said just now!"
The latter responded, and Yan Tao ordered again: "Pass the order, and the whole city will search for Elder Duanfang of the Sha Sect!"
This time, the soldiers couldn't help but remind him: "My lord, do you want to wait for the regent's decision to ...... again?"
With the weight of Shazong's distinguished guests in Xuanguo, it is necessary to be cautious in issuing this arrest warrant.
Is it true that Duan Fang joined forces with the Duo people to kill King Xuan? When this news is announced, I am afraid that it will cause a shock in the government and the public.
Yan Tao also hesitated rarely, pacing back and forth in the hall for a few steps before saying, "Okay, then wait until my brother listens to it." ”
Then the two soldiers took the captives and put them on their horses and went in the direction of the palace.
Another henchman reminded Yan Tao: "My lord, you still have the king's life by your side." ”
The regent sent Yan Tao out of the city to lead his troops to attack Qingzhi Town.
Yan Tao took a deep breath: "Let's go, go to Qingzhi Town." ”
He had been delayed in the city for too long, and his brother had asked him to take Qingzhi before dark.
Bad news came one after another, they needed a win so badly.
Yan Tao sighed.
As for the Jade Princess-
He has sent someone to notify the Xicheng Department to launch a search and rescue. But in any case, it's just a woman, so what if you really lose it? My brother has always put the overall situation first.
No one noticed that as soon as Yan Tao left with his front foot, a figure flashed in the kitchen of the inn and went out.
¥¥¥¥¥
According to Yan Saburo's request, the master and servant of the Jade Concubine held her breath and closed her eyes, and he took her to jump off the big hole at the bottom of the carriage.
The expected impact did not come, and the body was falling freely.
Where did they fall?
It was a strange feeling, there was something around them, but it couldn't stop them from falling or moving forward, as if they were floating in the water of a lake.
In addition to this, the sound is also cut off. The hustle and bustle of the market and the exclamations of the crowd were suddenly inaudible.
There was only silence.
The boy pushed them forward.
More than twenty breaths have passed.
Honeysuckle was about to lose it, and couldn't help but reach out to cover his mouth and nose.
Fortunately, she felt like she was on the rise.
Finally, Yan Saburo's voice sounded in his ears: "You can breathe and open your eyes." ”
Honeysuckle inhaled, opened his eyes at the same time, and then was startled:
"Ah, where are I—we?"
Where the three of them stood, it was actually a woodland, the grass was withered and yellow, and the trees were dense and lonely.
Concubine Yu was also looking left and right, and suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed: "That's the city wall!"
Honeysuckle turned around, and sure enough, he saw the magnificent city wall thirty zhang away.
But there was no one around.
She muttered, "We're out?"
Concubine Yu didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so she only squeezed her hand so tightly: "We're out!
Nine years.
She has been sent to Xuanguo for nine years, and she has never stepped out of the gate of Anlai City!
