The next day, Ruan Qiu began to lead people to leave Jiaozhou Wangdu. When leaving the city, he even put on a show and cried several times to Zhao Di.
After sending Ruan Qiu away, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became a little depressing.
Zhao Di coughed and slowly calmed down after drinking a cup of ginseng tea. Chen Que on the side walked up and took another pulse, looking even more worried.
"Doctor Chen, how am I doing?"
"I can't delay it any longer. I need to prepare medicine immediately. If I can't find the weaver, I can only try and use some antidote prescriptions first. Everything in this world has its own reason. For example, toad venom and snake venom, these two It’s different. If you use the wrong medicine, you will be in danger.”
Everyone present felt anxious after hearing this.
At this moment, outside the door, a secret guard suddenly jumped up. Li Liu stood up in surprise and walked out. When he came back, his face was full of joy.
"Coalition Leader Zhao, Divine Doctor Chen, that man has been found."
…
Although Jiaozhou City is not as prosperous as Chengdu, as the largest capital of the five states in the South China Sea, it has its own flavor. On the street, there are many merchants selling seafood. There are even many Sichuan merchants who sell Sichuan brocade and medicinal materials here and open shops to attract business.
At this time, there was the largest Qing Palace in the south of Jiaozhou Zhengdao.
The nineteen-year-old prince Zhao Dong's face was full of anger. In front of him was a young man with the same fair face.
"Deng Zhou, how dare you favor me! Earlier, your father, Deng Yu, supported Dongling in his rebellion and was killed by his own clan. If I hadn't protected you, you would have died long ago."
"I miss our friendship, but you want to harm me! Just ask, is there something wrong with that black feather cloak?"
In front of Zhao Dong, Deng Zhou smiled faintly.
"Brother Zhao, please listen to me first."
Zhao Dong shook off Deng Zhou's hand and said, "My father is in a declining condition now. If you are really the one who caused this, I will cut off my ties with you!"
"Brother Zhao! Twenty-seven of my Deng Zhou family died! What happened to supporting Dongling? At that time, Dongling was strong and Xishu was weak!"
"What now? With King Xu Shu here, Western Shu is already half the country!"
Deng Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, even Xi Shu should die! Brother Zhao, you and I still have a chance to choose now."
"what chance?"
"Beiyu." Deng Zhou uttered the word "Beiyu." "No one in the world will be so lucky to win twice in a row with less. This time, I bet on Beiyu to win! Brother Zhao, if it were you My heart goes to Beiyu, I can’t tell you, when the King of Beiyu becomes the emperor, you and I will be the ministers of Conglong."
"You are such a fool!" Zhao Dong trembled and suddenly raised his leg and kicked Deng Zhou in front of him to the ground.
"I don't care about the rest. I suddenly understood that you wanted to poison my father to death and help Beiyu replace the leader of the South China Sea Alliance."
"You dirty man, I, Zhao Dong, want to sever my ties with you!"
Zhao Dong drew out his long sword, cut off a corner of his robe, grabbed it and threw it in front of Deng Zhou. Then he said no more and prepared to walk out of the Qingguan.
But he never thought that after taking a few more steps, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. The pain was so painful that he couldn't move and collapsed on the ground.
"Brother Zhao." Deng Zhou got up coldly, "Brother Zhao and I are as close as brothers. How could I cut off our robes and sever our ties? Look, you, a prince of Jiaozhou, dare to come to see me without even bringing a bodyguard." .This trust makes me, Deng, extremely ashamed."
"Don't move around. The wine is poisonous. If you move a few more times, I'm afraid you will be poisoned to death."
Deng Zhou straightened his robe and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you that the pirate Ruan Qiu has left the city. It's time for a storm in this huge Jiaozhou."
"Let me, Deng Zhou, finish what my father has not finished yet." Deng Zhou smiled coldly, "Western Shu will eventually be destroyed by Beiyu."
…
Rumble.
A heavy rain suddenly fell in the sky in Jiaozhou City.
In the carriage, Li Liu frowned. Previously, the secret guard found traces of the weaver. Unexpectedly, the weaver was suddenly killed.
"Envoy Li, the two guards sent out earlier were also killed."
Li Liu's expression calmed.
In the current situation, Zhao Di's condition has worsened and the weaver is dead. If there is no way to find out the source of the poison, even if Chen Que is famous all over the world, he will not be able to prescribe the right medicine.
As long as Zhao Di dies, the entire South China Sea Alliance will inevitably start civil strife under the layout of thoughtful people.
"Envoy, wait a minute!" At this moment, the accompanying secret guard spoke happily again.
Li Liu was startled and looked outside. He saw a Shuzhou guard from earlier running over quickly, holding a girl whose eyes were swollen from crying.
"Stable boy, what is this?"
"Commander, Ambassador Li... this is the weaver's daughter. The enemy was too strong before, so I couldn't protect the weaver, but fortunately, I escaped with the girl."
"Get in the car first." Li Liu nodded.
"Envoy, listen to me. Although this girl is not old, she is quite capable of weaving. I have asked her about the black feather cloak she made earlier."
"Seriously?" Li Liu's voice trembled.
"Of course it's true. The envoy will know it as soon as he asks."
Li Liu turned his head and looked at the girl who was being carried into the carriage. Although she was no longer crying, her eyes were already red and swollen.
"Don't be afraid, I'm a good person." Li Liu sighed, took a quilt from the side and covered the wet girl's body.
After thinking about it, he did not ask in a hurry, but quickly left the place of right and wrong with his guards.
…
The sky is dim, the rain is not stopping, and the whole world seems to be getting darker.
Zhao Di was sitting in the courtyard behind the palace, coughing, raising his head and looking at the rain outside. He sat here and waited for a long time, but he didn't wait until the traitor came back.
A guard leader hurriedly approached.
"Have you sent someone to look for it... Ahem."
"I went to look for him. Someone saw the prince entering the Qing Palace in the south of the city."
"What was he doing there?"
The guard leader hesitated for a moment, "Master, does he remember Deng Yu?"
"Of course I remember that this rip-off almost brought the five states of the South China Sea into a desperate situation."
At the beginning, Deng Yu united three state kings to surrender to King Zuo Shiren of Ling Dynasty. He had no choice but to enter Chengdu with Wu Zheng, discuss secretly with King Xu Shu, and make a plan before finally succeeding.
"His third son is still alive... It was the prince who rescued him. His name is Deng Zhou. Someone discovered earlier that the prince went to the Qing Palace to meet Deng Zhou, but when I passed by, both of them were gone."
"The ghosts of the damn Deng family are still here!" Even though his face was pale, Zhao Di was still so powerful under his anger that the guards nearby fell to their knees in shock.
"I have been thinking, I am a good person, why did you give me that poisonous cloak? Now I understand."
"Send the order and kill immediately——"
Before the order was finished, Zhao Di took a breath and said no more.
"Come here, please invite Mr. Qingfeng over, and tell me that I, Zhao Di, have something important to discuss with you!"
