A Clash of Gods - Chapter 152

[Chapter 151]

Yang Ning saw Duan Canghai’s expression and knew that Swing Yi was indeed a remarkable character.

“It seems that you really know the poisonous king of Jiuxi.” Yang Ning sighed: “The one who poisoned me this time should be the apprentice of the poisonous king of Jiuxi.”

Duan Canghai said in shock: “Master Hou, are you really sure that you are from the Jiuxi Poison King?” He frowned and said, “This matter is difficult to handle.”

Gu Qinghan frowned and said, “Canghai, who is the Jiuxi Poison King?”

“The Poison King of Jiuxi is a Bai Miao from Bashu.” Duan Canghai explained: “The third lady knows that there are many barbarians in Bashu, and among the barbarians, the Miao people are the most powerful. Erdong is entrenched in the mountains and rivers of Bashu, and the king of Shu, Li Hongxin, is very powerful in Xichuan, but he is mainly appeasement to the Miao people, and he does not dare to offend easily.”

Gu Qinghan nodded and said, “I know that there are many Miao people in Xichuan, and I heard that the Miao people also fight with each other.”

“That’s right.” Duan Canghai said: “The seventy-two Miao people are divided into raw seedlings and mature seedlings. Raw seedlings refer to those uncivilized Miao people, young seedlings and red seedlings who live in the mountains and are isolated from the world. Miaobians are all born Miao people. There is also a type of mature Miao people who can speak Chinese and communicate with the Han people. Black Miao, Bai Miao and Hua Miao are all familiar Miao people. Human strength is second only to Heimiao people, Heimiao is good at Gu, Bai Miao is good at poison, Jiuxi Poison King is Bai Miao’s first poison master, and it can be said that Xichuan’s first poison master.”

“Since you are a Miao person, why did you find the capital and have a grudge with us?” Gu Qinghan said with a frown: “The name Qiu Qianyi sounds like a Han person.”

“This is the pseudonym of the Jiuxi Poison King.” Duan Canghai said: “Among the mature seedlings, many people have Chinese names. Before Qiu Qianyi became famous, the world’s number one poisoning expert was the Tang family in Xichuan. The Tang family was a Han Chinese, and it was easy for the swing to find the Tang family and compete with the head of the Tang family in poison skills. At that time, how could the Tang family look down on a mere white Miao person, so they did not give the swing a chance. As far as I know, only After less than half a month, the Tang family began to be poisoned to death one after another. In just half a month, there were more than 270 people in the Tang family, and in the end there were only a few people left. ”

Gu Qinghan’s color changed slightly, and Yang Ning also took a breath of cold air. He could naturally hear that it must be Jiuxi Poison King Qiu Qianyi who did this poisonous hand.

“The Tang family is the No. 1 poison-using family in Xichuan, and there is nothing they can do. The Tang family’s patriarch watched the whole family being poisoned to death one by one.” Duan Canghai’s expression was serious, “The Tang family was born in poison, and no one in the rivers and lakes provokes them. So they don’t have any friends in the rivers and lakes, and naturally no one will help them in times of crisis.”

“What’s the situation of the Tang family now?” Yang Ning asked.

Duan Canghai smiled bitterly and said, “The Tang family has been around for decades. When the head of the Tang family was discovered, the flesh on his body was already dry. On the gate of the Tang family, there was a flag that read There are five words for Jiuxi Swing Yi, and since then, Swing Yi’s reputation has been resounding all over the world, on the rivers and lakes, and the conversation has changed.”

Gu Qinghan’s pretty face was pale at this time.

“Swing Yi has always been active in Xichuan, and seldom goes out of Sichuan.” Duan Canghai looked serious, “Master Hou, you said that this time it was Qi Qianyi’s apprentice, did you ever offend Jiuxi Poison King?”

Yang Ning knew that it was a big deal, so he hesitated for a while, and finally briefly explained what had happened, Duan Canghai said in surprise, “So that’s the case, if that’s the case, the one who poisoned this time should be the little witch named Anao. already.”

“Miss Tang said that the little demon girl will not give up and will come again.” Gu Qinghan was worried, “Canghai, they are staring at Ning’er, what do you think we should do?”

Duan Canghai frowned and said, “Master Hou, from my point of view, it may not be the intention of the Jiuxi Poison King when the little demon girl poisoned people this time. Although the Jiuxi Poison King has unparalleled poison skills, he still has to take care of Bai Miao after all. Man, if his apprentice kills Lord Hou, it is a blatant rebellion, and the imperial court will not sit idly by.

The Bai Miao people are also bound to be in great trouble.

”

“You mean this is the meaning of the little demon girl herself?” Gu Qinghan asked.

Duan Canghai nodded and said, “The poisonous king of Jiuxi has no grudge against our Hou Mansion, and it is impossible for him to easily form grudges against the imperial court. This little demon girl must be making her own decisions. If so, there is no need to worry too much. The poisonous king of Xixi took the initiative in person, we can only ask Daguangming Temple for help, and the poisonous king of Jiuxi has to worry about the Daguangming Temple. Now it is only an apprentice of the poisonous king of Jiuxi, and we still have Miss Tang to help, so we may not be able to deal with the little demon girl.” The voice said: “We can set a trap in the Hou’s mansion. If the little demon thief is not dead, we can lead the king into the urn.”

Gu Qinghan shook his head and said, “Ninger also meant the same thing, but Miss Tang said that the little demon girl is very cunning. If she finds out, I’m afraid she will kill Ninger. She is in the dark, and we are in the light, so we have to be on guard.”

Duan Canghai frowned and said, “It’s hard to figure out where she is, and no one knows when and how she will poison her, so it’s hard to prevent her.”

“Have you heard of blood washing?” Yang Ning was silent for a moment, and finally asked, “If you wash your blood with herbs, you will be immune to all poisons.”

Duan Canghai said stunned: “And such means? I really have never heard of it.”

Only then did Yang Ning speak out about Tang Nuo’s proposal, and he said with half-belief, “Miss Tang’s medical skills don’t need to be said, but I have never heard of such medical skills as blood washing.”

“Ning’er, I think it’s better to be careful.” Gu Qinghan whispered: “I don’t doubt Miss Tang, but according to what you just said, Miss Tang’s origin is unclear, and she has a relationship with the little demon girl. ……!” After a pause, he said: “The heart of defending people is indispensable.”

Duan Canghai nodded slightly and said: “Master Hou, the third lady is right.” After thinking for a while, he said slowly: “But then again, there are many strange people in the land of Xichuan, and there are swings that are easy to use poison to transform into the realm. Of course, there are also many other strange people. Miss Tang said that she can wash blood, although it sounds a bit bizarre, but it is not necessarily true, after all, we have not seen it with our own eyes, and we are not sure, but we cannot categorically deny it. .”

Yang Ning smiled and said, “Uncle Duan means you can wash blood?”

“No, no.” Duan Canghai hurriedly waved his hand: “Master Hou, don’t misunderstand, I’m just telling the truth with Master Hou. If it is true that all poisons can be invulnerable, then naturally it is impossible to ask for it, but…just not. I know if Miss Tang has another purpose.” She lowered her voice and said, “But Miss Tang doesn’t look like a bad person, and she doesn’t look like she wants to harm Lord Hou. …. Hou Ye will be incapable of doing anything.”

Gu Qinghan said quietly: “Know the person, the face and the heart, don’t rush her to wash her blood first, let’s talk about it later.”

In the next few days, the guards of the Hou Mansion became more stringent, and Duan Canghai was always near Yang Ning. In order to prevent the little demon girl from being poisoned again, Yang Ning even quietly changed a yard.

Fortunately, because the Hou Mansion had strengthened its defenses, Anao had no chance to sneak in, and since Yang Ning was wary, he naturally couldn’t let anyone easily succeed.

Tang Nuo didn’t mention the blood washing after that.

Two days later, the blocked streets and alleys began to reopen, but Yang Ning had already learned that the newly enthroned emperor had led many officials back to the capital, and the previous emperor had also moved into the imperial mausoleum.

Although before this, many people faintly felt that the succession to the throne this time must not be easy, and even bloodshed would occur, but in the end, there was still a safe transition. Bloody fight.

Next, there was an edict passed on to the world, the new emperor ascended the throne, changed the title to Longtai, and granted amnesty to the world.

Only the people in the capital can really feel the tension and depression that has shrouded the capital in the recent period of time. Now that the overall situation has been settled, people finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Although a few people know that this period is a difficult time related to the country’s fortune, they still survived.

Ordinary people naturally don’t know how many transfers in the court, but the Black Sabre Battalion was transferred out of the city after all, and was still stationed in the outskirts of the city. It is to return to the imperial city and guard the palace.

However, it was rumored in private that after the Royal Yulin Camp was transferred out of the city, after a huge personnel transfer, many high-level generals were promoted and rewarded and transferred from the Yulin Camp. Many people even obtained titles and their salaries were greatly improved, but they were deprived of real power.

Whether it’s true or not, ordinary people naturally don’t know, and Yang Ning doesn’t have time to care.

Although the shadow that Anau brought to him has not disappeared, what he cares most about now is the panacea in Tang Nuo’s hands.

Although the emperor issued an imperial decree and granted Yang Ning to wait, but he did not bestow gold and silver. At present, the finances of the Hou residence are already stretched. According to the estimation of taking care of Qinghan, it cannot last for two months.

The Jinyi Hou Mansion is not like other princes and nobles. Apart from the food court and two shops, there is no other source of income. Now that the pawnshop has been burned down, there is only one pharmacy left, and only one pharmacy is used to maintain the expenses of hundreds of people in the Hou Mansion. A fool’s dream, in this case, we can only find another good way.

Tang Nuo’s drugs are of course a source of great potential for the economy. If the drugs are really that magical, of course, they can expand production. By then, the business will be booming and the financial resources will be prosperous.

When the two arrived at Yong’an Hall early in the morning, the pharmacy had just opened the door to do business. Mr. Song saw the two entering the house, and immediately greeted them, cupping his hands: “The little man has seen Hou Ye!” He was already kneeling on the ground. .

Jinyi Prince and Jinyi Hou of course have two different concepts.

The Prince of Jinyi is only the heir of the marquis, and he has no title, but the Marquis of Jinyi is a real marquis, so Mr. Song naturally dare not show any slights.

Yang Ning knew that the news of his succession had already spread, so he pulled up Mr. Song and said with a smile, “No need to do this, what happened before, and what is going on now. Mr. Song, do you know the reason why I came here, has the child ever come back?”

Mr. Song looked at Tang Nuo next to him, adjusted his clothes, bowed to the end, and said with emotion, “Miss Tang, please forgive me for being clumsy and ignorant. If there is any offense, please bear with me. It’s an eye-opener to be an old man once, knowing what it means to have a mountain person outside the mountain and someone outside the mountain!”
