Pei Wei's face was gloomy. Obviously, this news made him not very happy.
"It seems that we still have to start with those two people."
Back at Taiyang Mansion, Pei Wei called Master
"What happened to that shop?"
Master replied
"As expected, the store is still closed."
Pei Wei sneered
"Ha! Did the army from last night appear again?"
Master replied
"No, after last night, they seemed to have disappeared. However, after one night, Twelve Street seemed to have returned to normal."
Pei Wei frowned and said
"What does it mean."
Master said
"Yesterday, all the officers and soldiers of Chuanfeng Camp and the Forbidden Army on Twelve Street were massacred, but today, no news came out from the palace, and those officers and soldiers suddenly disappeared as if they had never appeared before."
Pei Wei's face darkened.
"This is not good news."
Since what happened last night, the City Lord's Mansion has been protected by a large number of Jianghu people.
In Hu Qi's words, the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army and Chuanfeng Camp were slaughtered wantonly in the capital, and the defenseless city lord's palace was in danger of overthrowing at any time.
In the house, Hu Qi came to report.
"Brother Hu Qi, what is the situation outside now?"
Chang Sheng, holding the flowerpot in his hand, asked hurriedly when he saw Hu Qi arriving.
After returning home last night, Chang Sheng frantically sent spies throughout the capital. Her intuition told her that a huge storm was brewing.
Hu Qidao
"The city has somehow returned to normal. The strange thing is that there is no news of the new emperor's enthronement in the palace, and there is no response to the matter of the Forbidden Army and Chuanfeng Camp. There is a dead silence."
But Chang Sheng is obviously more concerned about the safety of Yan Sihai and Wan Chaoyang at the moment.
"Where's the quarry? What's the news there?"
When Hu Qi heard this, his expression became strange and he stopped talking.
Chang Sheng became more and more anxious when he saw this.
"Hurry up, Brother Hu Qi, what's the news from the quarry?"
"Stop talking, I'm back!"
At this time, Yan Sihai's voice appeared in the city lord's palace at the right time.
Chang Sheng was overjoyed, but Hu Qi looked surprised and muttered
"The news from the spies is correct. Didn't it say that the quarry was slaughtered?"
Yan Sihai walked in with a sullen face.
"That's right, everyone in the quarry died overnight. Only Wan Chaoyang and the manager were missing. I searched the entire quarry but couldn't find any trace of them."
Chang Sheng stepped forward with concern
"What happened."
Yan Sihai looked solemn and was silent for a while.
After a while, he told exactly what happened in the white area, and then continued.
"After I came out of the White Zone, I walked all the way, only to find that overnight, the quarry had turned into a hell on earth, and not a single living person was found. The ghost-faced killer followed me all the way, but looking at his appearance, I'm afraid something I don’t know, but according to Wan Chaoyang’s martial arts, since his body has not been found, there should be no danger.”
Chang Sheng tried hard to digest the information provided by Yan Sihai, and beads of sweat appeared on his snow-white forehead.
"Concentrated gunpowder?"
Yan Sihai nodded solemnly and his face became serious.
"I have seen this thing once. When I was looking for the Gu King in the desert, I met Liang Gong, a fledgling worker. I saw with my own eyes that boy detonated a concentrated gunpowder in a large uninhabited desert, directly destroying the deep and uninhabited desert. The sea of sand that bottomed out created a huge pit several feet wide and bottomless, which makes people shudder even thinking about it."
Hu Qi on the side said in surprise
"How come there is such a horrifying gunpowder? Why have I never heard of it in the world?"
Yan Sihai stroked his beard
"The power of that thing shocked even Liang Gong himself. It even far surpassed the Grand Master's full blow. However, this thing has too many limitations. Just detonating one would require a huge amount of energy. Explosive material, say, saltpeter.”
"Besides, Liang Gong believed that this thing was harmful to nature. Since then, Liang Gong has never mentioned this gunpowder again."
Chang Sheng asked
"What on earth is this gunpowder made of? It has such terrifying power."
Yan Sihai Road
"The ingredients should be the same as ordinary black gunpowder, but Liang Gong must have used a special technique to squeeze a large amount of black gunpowder into a very small pill. This requires the shell of the pill to be extremely strong. Otherwise, the pill will be lightly It will be extremely easy to detonate when exposed to external force, but in this case, the conditions for detonating the pill will become more stringent."
Chang Sheng nodded and said
"Since the Ghostface Killer has Stud gunpowder in his hand, does that mean that Liang Gong has appeared?"
Yan Sihai frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and then said
"It seems that Liang Gong was probably coerced by the Twelfth Floor."
At this time, Hu Qi on the side seemed to remember something and said
"I forgot to mention one thing. According to the news from the palace, the emperor and empress were also kidnapped the night before yesterday."
"What!"
Chang Sheng said in shock
"Brother Hu Qi, please tell me the details."
Hu Qidao
"It is said that the night before last, Ji Shen and Lu Ying suddenly appeared in the palace and wanted to kidnap the emperor and the empress. At the critical moment, Commander Pang arrived in time, but it was difficult for him to defeat four hands with two fists. Ji Shen and Lu Ying were no longer as powerful as Commander Pang. After a hard fight, Commander Pang killed Ji Shen at the cost of losing an arm, but Lu Ying still kidnapped the empress."
Chang Sheng nodded slightly and looked at Yan Sihai
"This is consistent with Qin Wuyi and others coming to ask for help that night."
Too many things happened during this period, and clues popped up like a big explosion. Until now, she still couldn't figure out what secrets were hidden behind these seemingly unrelated things.
"By the way, Lao Yan, what happened when you went to the palace that night?"
Chang Sheng suddenly remembered this and asked.
After what happened last night, Yan Sihai hadn't come back to his senses for a moment, so he completely forgot about going to the palace to rescue Pang Chong, and suddenly slapped his head.
"How could I forget this? Speaking of which, I met a wonderful man in the palace."
Chang Sheng asked curiously
"What wonderful person?"
Yan Sihai looked at the flowers in Chang Sheng's hand.
"A medical officer came from beyond the Great Wall."
With that said, he told Chang Sheng the news about Kao that he learned from Medical Officer Xu.
Chang Sheng looked at the flowers in his hands quietly
"So to say……"
Yan Sihai nodded
"It's probably true. The immortal who descended from the sky outside the Great Wall cultivated the Flower of Ultimate Life and the Flower of Ultimate Death. The flower in your hand should be the Flower of Ultimate Life."
"If my guess is correct, Ji Shen, Lu Ying, Pang Chong and the others were poisoned with the deadly poison."
Chang Sheng frowned, and her slender fingers unconsciously touched the flower pot in her hand.
"Did the Flower of Extreme Death also appear in the capital?"
Yan Sihai shook his head
"That's not necessarily true. According to what the medical officer said, the poison these people are talking about now is just the remnant poison left by the extremely deadly flower back then. It cannot be compared with the real extremely deadly poison."
"Now, finding Ji Shen and Lu Ying, who were the first to be poisoned, may be the key."
Chang Sheng suddenly raised his head, his eyes as bright as a torch
"No! They were not the first ones to be poisoned."
Yan Sihai Road
"Did anyone else get poisoned before them?"
Chang Sheng stared at Yan Sihai and asked a question
"Old Yan, according to what you said, it was Medical Officer Wang who poisoned Pang Chong, and the purpose was to pass it on to Qin Wuyi and others who had come into contact with Pang Chong. So, does it mean that the poison itself has the ability to infect others?"
Yan Sihai nodded.
"nature……"
Then, he suddenly seemed to think of something
"You mean, Ji Shen and Lu Ying were also infected?"
Chang Shengdao
"Regarding the robbery of the Human Emperor, now that I think about it, there is one key piece of information that has been ignored, and that is the testimony of Ji Shen and Lu Ying in the palace."
Yan Sihai Road
"What did they say?"
Chang Shengdao
"They said that that night, they were first knocked to the ground by two young eunuchs, and then they heard the young eunuchs leading a group of people into the palace. They got up to chase them, but they found that the group of men in black, together with The two little eunuchs disappeared before their eyes."
Yan Sihai is in disbelief
"It can't be that he saw a ghost."
Chang Sheng smiled and said
"Of course they didn't see a ghost. It's more likely that they had been poisoned at that time. Don't forget, the flower of death is known as the flower king in Manzhushahua. It naturally has extremely strong hallucinogenic abilities. That day I In the sky prison, I just smelled the aftertaste of the flower poison and almost fell into the trap."
Yan Sihai Road
"You mean, those two little eunuchs and those men in black were all their hallucinations? That night, no one entered the palace through that door at all?"
Chang Shengdao
"It may be a bit arbitrary to say this, but I said before that those two people were not the first to be poisoned, because Xiao Zhong once told me that on the second night after the Human Emperor was kidnapped, he saw the other side of the lake at Changming Lake There is a similar humanoid monster with a green light in its eyes, and at that time, Ji Shen and Lu Ying should still be in prison."
"To confirm my guess, Xiao Zhong and I went to that place yesterday and found this there."
While Chang Sheng was talking, Hu Qi brought a brown silk thread from the side, which he found by the river that day.
"Judging from the footprints left there and the brown thread, the green-eyed monster Xiao Zhong saw that night should be a eunuch."
Yan Sihai looked at the brown silk thread
"So you think those eunuchs were the first to be poisoned."
Chang Sheng nodded
"Not only that, the eunuchs who kidnapped the Human Emperor under Wang Huan that night should be the group of eunuchs who disappeared later. After being poisoned by the deadly poison, with the ability of those people, it is no longer difficult to kidnap the saint. They don't have to enter the palace at all. They are originally from the palace."
"It was already the second night when Ji Shen and Lu Ying's internal energy surged. Judging from the order of poisoning, those eunuchs were obviously poisoned earlier than those two people."
"And I suspect that what Ji Shen and Lu Ying saw was not all hallucinations. There should indeed be two young eunuchs who appeared behind them that night, but it was not that they were defeated, but that they were infected by those two young eunuchs. Extremely deadly poison."
After a long time, Yan Sihai finally came to his senses
"If you put it this way, the whole kidnapping case seems reasonable, but this is just a guess. Moreover, where did the Human Emperor go and why did they kidnap the Human Emperor."
Chang Sheng interrupted him
"Don't worry, listen to me. According to Brother Hu Qi, the emperor and empress were robbed last night, and Ji Shen and Lu Ying suddenly appeared in the palace. This is a more interesting statement. Although the two of them are wealthy people, Level, but trying to force your way into the palace is a fool’s errand.”
Hu Qi nodded and said
"But they did show up, and Lu Ying ran away safe and sound."
Yan Sihai's expression changed
"The palace has been controlled by King Xiang's Chuanfeng Battalion. Although Chuanfeng Battalion is not as elite as the Forbidden Army, it is several times as powerful as the Forbidden Army. However, the two men can still come and go freely in the palace."
At this point, even Hu Qi also figured it out
"They are the people of the Prime Minister. Could it be that the poison was given by the Prime Minister, and the kidnapping of the Human Emperor and the Empress was also done by the Prime Minister?"
Yan Sihai looked at Chang Sheng
"What are you going to do next?"
Chang Sheng thought for a while, motioned Yan Sihai to come closer, and said a few words in Yan Sihai's ear. After hearing this, Yan Sihai's expression changed drastically and he said sternly
"Can't!"
