Xu Ling thought for a moment and decided to send someone to notify Gu Xiaotian.
In the past few days, he and Gu Xiaotian lived in the same mansion.
If there is any disturbance on his side, Gu Xiaotian will be aware of it and will come to test his flexibility the next day.
The timing of this adult's action was very clever.
This is the best moment to clear yourself from suspicion.
If Gu Xiaozhen had the ability to find out the adult behind him, wouldn't it be wonderful if he took the opportunity to hide himself without helping each other, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and finally come out to reap the benefits?
Soon, Gu Xiaotian was called over, and he and Xu Ling left the mansion and rushed to the scene of the murder.
When the residents of the small town saw the guardian coming, they all moved out of the way, and at the same time they talked about the situation, "Lord Guardian, why did another person die so well, and the monster is here again?"
For a time, the residents of the town were all talking.
Xu Ling hurriedly calmed everyone down and said, "Don't panic, this matter is still unclear. Once the result is known, we will be notified as soon as possible!"
The residents of the town had no choice but to give up.
When this incident happened before, there were voices of opposition, saying that the guard envoy was not doing well, but in the end, he was "greeted" by Xu Ling alone.
If someone suffers from this, they will naturally not dare to speak out.
Xu Ling walked towards the corpse. After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't hold back a single word. He turned around and smiled at Gu Xiaotian and said, "Sir, I don't have much ability. Why don't you come and take a look at this corpse?"
Gu Xiaotian nodded slightly and walked straight to the body.
After just one glance, Gu Xiaotian frowned.
If what the townspeople said was true, the corpse would not have been dead for more than twelve hours, but this corpse was already rotting in many places, as if it had been twelve hours.
Hao Hao was helping from the side. Seeing the corpse's mouth smashed, he reached out to turn the corpse over.
But as soon as Hao Hao touched the corpse, he suddenly fell straight down.
Gu Xiaotian was shocked and quickly checked Hao Hao's situation.
At this time, Hao Hao's lips turned white and his face looked painful.
Leng Qingqiu also hurried up to check. After a simple inspection, he said nervously: "He is poisoned."
Xu Ling, who was watching this scene from behind, had an evil smile on his lips.
This was obviously done by the adult, who had taken action once before and warned him not to touch the body.
To use the adult's words, even if he was accidentally poisoned, I'm afraid he wouldn't have any good way to detoxify.
Xu Ling was secretly happy.
Now that Hao Hao has been poisoned, Gu Xiaotian, who touched the body next, will also fall down soon.
Although his level is still no match for Leng Qingqiu, he can let his servants delay for some time. He is completely confident that he can kill these two poisoned people.
Now, he is quietly waiting for Gu Xiaotian to be poisoned.
But after waiting for a long time, Xu Ling realized something was wrong.
Why hasn't Gu Xiaotian fallen yet?
Because he took the Sect-Suppressing Pill in Wudu, Gu Xiaotian's natural hegemonic body is now invulnerable to all poisons, and this kind of poison cannot defeat him.
It’s just that Gu Xiaotian has no intention of asking where the poison in this corpse came from.
The top priority now is to save senior brother.
Gu Xiaotian waved his hand, "Envoy Xu Zhen, go quickly and ask for the doctor."
Seeing that Gu Xiaotian did not fall, Xu Ling had no choice but to give up his plan for the time being and immediately ordered people to go back to the house to ask for a doctor.
After the doctor in the mansion arrived, he did a brief inspection and quickly shook his head.
Gu Xiaotian asked: "Doctor, how is my senior brother's condition?"
The doctor shook his head and sighed: "The situation is very bad. We have never seen this kind of poison before, so I'm afraid there is nothing we can do about it."
Gu Xiaotian looked downcast and just waved his hand.
Let the doctor go back.
Since the corpse was highly toxic, Gu Xiaotian just asked Xu Ling to seal off the place temporarily and deal with it later.
Xu Ling had no choice but to comply. In front of Gu Xiaotian, he still had to pretend to be obedient.
Pulling the poisoned Hao Hao back to the house, Hao Hao was lying on the bed, his consciousness becoming increasingly blurred.
Before at Xuandan Peak, Leng Qingqiu had learned some ways to save people from Tong Wuqi, and now he did his best to help Hao Hao relieve his pain regardless of the situation.
After Leng Qingqiu's treatment was completed, Gu Xiaotian worriedly asked: "Sister, how sure are you?"
Leng Qingqiu shook his head and said: "Not even in Chengdu. The poison spreads very quickly. I can only suppress him in one place temporarily."
Gu Xiaotian nodded and asked, "How long can it be suppressed?"
Leng Qingqiu thought for a moment and said, "About two hours."
Gu Xiaotian silently calculated in his heart.
These two hours are equivalent to an ultimatum.
He must find a way to save Hao Hao within these two hours.
Otherwise, Hao Hao might be eroded by the poison and die tragically like that corpse.
...
Hao Hao was temporarily taken care of by Leng Qingqiu, while Gu Xiaotian went out alone to Xu Ling's room.
Xu Ling asked with concern: "Master Gu, how is Master Hao's situation?"
Gu Xiaotian raised his eyebrows and said, "You are very concerned?"
Xu Ling sighed, "Yes, you three adults are all the proud sons of heaven. Mr. Hao is now poisoned, so a low-ranking official must care about him."
Unexpectedly, Gu Xiaotian did not spoil Xu Ling this time.
He slapped Xu Ling directly on the face!
Xu Ling, who was defenseless, was thrown out. She covered her face and cried mournfully: "What do you mean, Master? Master Hao has been poisoned. You are worried, but you can't take it out on the officer's face!"
Gu Xiaotian said with a cold face: "Mr. Xu Zhen, since you are an official in Kyoto, I will give you a chance to honestly explain how to cure this poison. I will definitely tell the people above and spare your life."
Xu Ling still pretended to be aggrieved, and said mournfully: "Sir, the conscience of heaven and earth, Xu really doesn't know."
Seeing Xu Ling still pretending to be aggrieved, Gu Xiaotian was angry.
The next moment, Gu Xiaotian's sword was already on Xu Ling's neck.
Xu Ling was completely panicked this time, and said tremblingly: "Sir, there must be a reason for killing a lower official, right?"
Gu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Didn't Governor Xu know that the corpse was poisonous a long time ago?"
Xu Ling was stunned for a moment, feeling surprised.
It was true that he knew the corpse was poisonous early on, but how did Gu Xiaotian discover it.
Thinking back carefully about the scene at that time, it seems that I didn't reveal any flaws.
Therefore, Xu Ling could only continue to pretend to be unaware and asked: "Why do you say that, sir?"
A smile appeared at the corner of Gu Xiaotian's mouth.
Xu Ling Ah Xu Ling.
If it weren't for the fact that his senior brother was poisoned now, he would have wanted to play with Xu Ling for a while, and also follow Xu Ling's line to find out something.
But now, they are helpless to deal with this poison. They can only force Xu Ling to the edge of the cliff and ask for details.
"Warden Xu has not touched the body. Hasn't that already made the problem clear?"
Xu Ling's eyes widened.
He also understood.
He had been worried about this problem before.
After all, he did intentionally not touch the body, and just kept looking at it with the naked eye.
This was poison given by that adult. Xu Ling didn't know how to detoxify it, so how could he dare to risk his life.
However, after Hao Hao was poisoned, Gu Xiaotian did not directly make it clear.
Xu Ling, who originally thought he had escaped, was already happy, and was planning how to reveal some information about the adult, so that he could truly sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
Unexpectedly, ancient
Xiaotian came to him to settle accounts with Qiuhou.
But he still argued: "Your Excellency, is it too hasty to convict me based on this alone?"
Gu Xiaotian shook his head and said with a smile: "Rrash? I don't think it was sloppy at all. When Chen Fan died, Commander Xu seemed to have checked the body himself."
Xu Ling's face gradually turned cold.
Gu Xiaotian continued: "Also, the two small fishes that Commander Xu gave me were carefully selected. Even his most trusted subordinates can betray them. Commander Xu is a person who can achieve great things."
The corners of Xu Ling's mouth gradually curved, and she no longer pretended to be cowardly. She said coldly: "My lord, I do have some brains, but there is one thing that I didn't expect. The reason why I don't touch this poison is because I don't know how to deal with it at all." I can’t understand it.”
Gu Xiaotian's expression was cold.
In fact, I was extremely anxious.
He originally wanted to force Xu Ling to hand over the antidote, but he didn't know how to detoxify it.
Fortunately, Gu Xiaotian still maintains his rationality, and Xu Ling cannot be killed yet.
After all, he felt happy after killing Xu Ling, but there was really no way to find out the person behind Xu Ling.
Talking about my senior brother, I am afraid this poison cannot be cured.
Do you really want to watch your senior brother die step by step?
At this time, Xu Ling suddenly said: "Sir, although I can't cure this poison, I can cooperate with you."
Gu Xiaotian was surprised and said: "You still want to cooperate with me?"
Xu Ling nodded seriously.
As a veteran who has been in the world for so long, Xu Ling knows very well how to survive.
He knew very well that Gu Xiaotian would not kill him so easily.
He definitely wants to use himself to find out something.
After all, this is about his senior brother's life.
Although doing so would betray that adult, he had already thought about everything that might happen, and therefore made many detailed plans.
The task now is to save his life.
As for how these two people fight, it will not affect him.
However, Gu Xiaotian didn't believe it and said, "Guardian Xu actually wants to cooperate with me. Are you afraid that if I don't agree, I will take your head off with this sword?"
Xu Ling looked at the sword still on his neck and said with a smile: "Sir, kill me now, what will you get?"
Seeing that Gu Xiaotian didn't answer, Xu Ling continued on her own: "If you really wanted to kill me, you should have done it long ago. Although I can't detoxify, maybe the person behind me can?"
Gu Xiaotian squinted at Xu Ling, looking at him, it seemed that he was really not lying.
However, he couldn't figure out what Xu Ling was planning now.
Finally, Gu Xiaotian slowly moved the sword away from Xu Ling's neck.
Xu Ling stood up slowly, cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, you are a sensible person."
Gu Xiaotian ignored Xu Ling's flattery and said coldly: "Secretary Xu Zhen, please forgive me for flattering me. If you dare to have any evil intentions, believe me your head will be separated from your body immediately."
Xu Ling nodded immediately and spoke out the words he had already prepared.
"Sir, when I first came to Wolong Town, I accepted my fate. I would never be able to move up in this life. I originally planned to spend the rest of my official career lying down, but strange things happened suddenly. At first, we also wanted to I asked the townspeople to serve, so I took people to check, and guess what? I actually found something. When I led people to break in, it turned out that none of us were the opponent of the old man. Fortunately, the old man did not kill Instead, he asked me to cooperate with him. Sir, I actually had no choice."
Xu Ling's words are naturally a mixture of truth and falsehood, and the things found out are correct, but Xu Ling was the only one who went there at that time, and most of what happened next fell into place.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Ling babbled a lot, and even deliberately squeezed out a few tears when he got to the emotional point.
As if the truth was what he said, he was completely helpless.
Gu Xiaotian also knew that Xu Ling would probably get involved
Part of it was a lie, but I didn’t go into detail.
Some things can wait until autumn to settle accounts.
Only one thing has been proven.
That means there is indeed someone behind Xu Ling.
And this person must be the one who poisoned him.
After Xu Ling finished speaking, he quietly glanced at Gu Xiaotian's expression.
He had prepared these words a long time ago, and naturally said them very smoothly. Coupled with his open mouth and on-the-spot performance, he easily removed himself early and wiped away all his dislike.
Gu Xiaotian didn't study it in detail and just said, "Take me to find it."
Xu Ling was stunned.
He didn't expect Gu Xiaotian to be so decisive, so he asked more, "Sir, won't you call for some help?"
Gu Xiaotian said coldly: "I don't want to repeat it a second time."
The top priority now is naturally to meet for a while, the gentleman Xu Ling talks about.
