A Clash of Gods - Chapter 234

[Chapter 233 Outbreak]

The hall was silent for a while, even the breathing was hard to hear.

Qi Ning’s brows were furrowed, and he was horrified. He was worried that this kind of poison would be difficult to deal with. At this time, listening to what Ximen Wuhen said, he knew that it would be even more difficult to find an antidote.

He originally had a lot of confidence in Tang Nuo, maybe it was Tang Nuo’s calm and calm attitude that made Qi Ning think that the girl was full of confidence.

But when Ximen Wuhen said this, he knew that even Tang Nuo would be hard-pressed to find a way to detoxify.

Since the establishment of the country, the Shenhou Mansion has continued to this day. It has been for dozens of years. It has dealt with the forces of the rivers and lakes all year round, and it also has a special elixir office for this purpose.

Although no one had explained to Qi Ning what the responsibilities of the alchemy department were, as the name suggested, Qi Ning knew that it must be used to study medicines and weapons.

Of course, the people recruited by the Shenhou Mansion will not be ordinary people. There are certainly not a few pharmacists in the Pill Item Department, but they have nothing to do with the poison of Gu eggs, which shows the seriousness of the problem.

After a period of silence, Xuanyuan Po took the lead in breaking the silence and said, “Master Hou, if it’s just Gu egg poison, we might not be able to find a way if we do our best, but this time the poison is just based on Gu egg poison, and at least it’s not enough. There are more than ten kinds of medicines in it, in addition to Gu egg poison, we have only detected three other poisons.” With a solemn expression, he said: “If you want to fully understand the poison, and then mobilize all the experts in medicine, To dispense the poison, it will take several months at the earliest.”

Qi Ning frowned and said, “After a few months, I’m afraid that the entire capital will be piled up with corpses, and there will be no living people.” Although his words are exaggerated, they are not alarmist.

Ximen Shenhou said: “For today’s plan, we can only control the epidemic in the capital first, so as not to expand, and at the same time recruit people to develop antidote, and send people to find the Jiuxi Poison King!”

“Is the Jiuxi Poison King in the capital?” Qi Ning asked, thinking that Anao was a disciple of the Jiuxi Poison King. Anao should have no doubts in the capital, but he didn’t know if the Jiuxi Poison King was also with Anao.

Ximen Shenhou said: “The old man has already assigned people to search, but even if the Jiuxi Poison King did not come in person, at least his disciples are in the capital.”

“Commander Xue has already sent people to block some roads in the capital.” Qi Ning thought to himself that this was the time to pull Ximen Shenhou, and if there was a problem, Ximen Wuhen could help him speak, “I see Commander Xue. It was timely to do so.”

Ximen Shenhou smiled lightly and said: “Whether Xue Lingfeng blocked the road to the capital, our Shenhou mansion has no right to ask, our responsibilities are different, our main responsibility is to find the murderer who has poisoned, and then try our best to find a way to detoxify and perform our duties. .”

Qi Ning thought that you old man was really cunning, and couldn’t help but said: “Shen Hou, with all due respect, this epidemic virus seems to have originated from the Beggar Gang at the earliest.”

Ximen Shenhou nodded and said: “Yes, something has gone wrong with the Beggar Gang recently. The Shenhou Mansion has sent people to negotiate with them. They only say that it is the internal affairs of the Beggar Gang and will not affect the order of the capital. The Shenhou Mansion always handles affairs. There is a principle that unless the forces of the rivers and lakes endanger the imperial court, their internal affairs will not be easily interfered by the Shenhou Mansion.” After a pause, he took a sip of tea and moistened his throat before saying: “The rivers and lakes are too big, The Shenhou Mansion is too small, and not everything can be managed.”

“So, is the Beggar Gang deliberately concealing the epidemic?” Qi Ning said lightly.

Ximen Shenhou nodded and said, “The beggar gang is not doing well this time, and the Shenhou mansion will naturally not turn a blind eye.” Looking at Captain Na Wenqu, he said coldly, “Han Tianxiao, you have negotiated with the beggar gang, but did not find out. If there is something wrong, the old man will show the court and take part in your dereliction of duty.”

Han Tianxiao, the captain of Wenqu, bowed his body and said, “I am dereliction of duty, I am willing to be punished!”

Qi Ning knew that Ximen Shenhou also realized that the Shenhou mansion was guilty of oversight this time, and Han Tianxiao was nothing more than a scapegoat, and even if he really participated in the previous book, Han Tianxiao would not really be imprisoned and imprisoned. That’s it.

At this moment, he thought of Duan Canghai’s guess,

I thought to myself that the Shenhou Mansion was only afraid that it was really because of other things that hindered the energy and was too negligent towards the beggar gang.

It’s just that I don’t know what happened to the Divine Marquis’s mansion.

“If the Jiuxi Poison King is really in the capital, then this matter has a lot to do with him.” Qi Ning thought thoughtfully and asked softly, “Shen Hou, can you be sure that the poisoner is the Jiuxi Poison King? Under his door?”

Ximen Shenhou said solemnly: “Before we are completely sure, we can only say that the suspect of the Nine Rivers Poison King is the most suspicious.” After a pause, he stroked his beard lightly, leaned his body slightly, approached Qi Ning’s side, and said softly: ” However, there is evidence of Gu egg poison. In the world, this most poisonous Gu egg poison is only found in the Yin and Yang world, and only the Jiuxi Poison King can concoct such a complex poison. Other than him, there should be no someone else.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, “According to this, the person who poisoned should be the poison king of Jiuxi, so there would be no difference.” He frowned and asked, “But the Lord of God knows better than me that doing things requires reasons. Crimes also need motives. What is the purpose of Jiuxi Poison King when he poisoned the capital? , or did he do it from the Black Lotus Sect?”

“Master Hou, in your opinion, what kind of situation would it be?” Ximen Shenhou looked at Qi Ning.

Qi Ning thought about whether you are a god or Laozi, and shook his head: “I really don’t know, I just have doubts in my heart. Logically speaking, the Black Lotus Sect is far away in Bashu, so there is no need to stretch out its tentacles so long. Wouldn’t it be better to have fun in Bashu if such a big incident happened in the capital?” He also picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, put it down, and continued, “Don’t they know that such a monstrous riot happened in the capital? How can the imperial court let them go?” He smiled and said, “I think that the poisonous king of Jiuxi may be out of his mind, otherwise, if it was just to deal with the beggar gang, why would there be any need to create such a contagious poison? Isn’t that intentionally killing innocent people and bringing disaster to the Black Lotus Sect?”

Several school captains in Shenhou Mansion looked at each other, but they didn’t say a word.

At this moment, I heard footsteps coming from outside, and an official who was guarding outside the hospital rushed to the door, knelt down on one knee, and said urgently: “Marquis of Baoshen, there is an urgent report!”

Xuanyuan Po glanced at Shenhou, but Ximen Shenhou did not speak, and then walked over. The official whispered a few words to Xuanyuan Po, and quickly retreated.

Xuanyuan Po returned to the hall, and cupped his hands to Ximen Shenhou: “Shenhou, I just got the news that someone from Changshou Street suddenly rushed into the street like a madman. It happened that someone was on the street at that time, and two people were scratched and injured. .”

Qi Ning’s heart sank.

He knew in his heart that if it was just an ordinary brawl, there was no way that trivial matters would be reported to Ximen Wuhen in a hurry.

“Is it an epidemic poison?” Simon Shenhou asked simply and clearly.

Xuanyuan Po nodded and said, “It has been confirmed that it is indeed a person infected with the epidemic virus, with erythema all over the body and blood blisters, which are completely consistent with the symptoms of the epidemic virus.”

“How many people are there?”

“When it happened, there was only one.” Xuanyuan Po said, “But that person was yelling in the street, causing a riot, and then two or three more came out.”

Ximen Shenhou’s expression was also very serious, and said: “Except for the people from the elixir department, all the staff of Shenhou’s mansion are dispatched to keep an eye on the gates of officials of the third rank and above, and also pay attention to the guards’ martial arts hall in the capital. If anyone has abnormal actions, report it immediately .” He got up and said to Qi Ning, “Master Hou, the palace door has been opened, the old man wants to enter the palace immediately, should Master Hou go to the Holy Spirit together?”

Qi Ning really wanted to see the little emperor and tell him what was going on in the capital, but when he wanted to be with the old fox, Ximen Shenhou, it would be inconvenient to talk to the little emperor at that time, and he was even more worried that the old fox would take advantage of it. He shook his head and said, “Although Shenhou goes to face the saint, I still have some other matters, and I will go to see the emperor after I have dealt with it.”

The god Hou of Ximen nodded and said, “That’s fine.” Then he said, “Master Hou, don’t let the people in the house go out for the next two days. The riots have already started, and it may not be able to be resolved in a day or two.”

Qi Ning left Shenhou Mansion and did not return directly to Jinyihou Mansion, but went to Yong’an Hall.

Tang Nuo was still studying the corpse, but he didn’t know if the poisonous egg had been found. Since the Shenhou Mansion had already found it, he could explain it to Tang Nuo to save time.

On the way without stopping, when approaching Yong’an Hall, Qi Ning saw a commotion in front of him and restrained his horse, only to see several armored warriors from the Tiger God Camp holding shields in their hands.

Com was surrounded by two mad men. At this time, the two men were already disheveled and their clothes were messy, and they rushed towards the Tiger God Camp warriors like crazy beasts.

Fortunately, these officers and soldiers are well-trained on weekdays. Although the two men are crazy, they can’t touch the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers have shields in their hands, which can be completely resisted.

“Master Hou, it should be the outbreak of the epidemic virus.” Zhao Wushang also restrained his horse beside Qi Ning, with a grim expression: “It seems that Lord Hou did not guess wrong, the epidemic virus really broke out.”

Qi Ning’s expression was solemn. He knew that what he saw was just the beginning, and it was only the tip of the iceberg. In the huge capital, at this moment, I am afraid that a similar situation has already occurred in many places.

At this time, it was already three poles in the sun. If it was the usual way, the streets and alleys would already be full of people.

If Xue Lingfeng hadn’t been found in time last night, Xue Lingfeng immediately dispatched soldiers to inform the people of the ban, and blocked many important streets. Qi Ning believed that the capital at this time was already in chaos.

“Don’t hurt them.” One of the officers and soldiers shouted: “Don’t be touched by them, knock them unconscious, tie them up and send them to Nanhe Lane to lock them up.”

Seeing this, Qi Ning nodded slightly. It seemed that Xue Lingfeng was indeed prepared. Not only was his subordinates not allowed to harm the infected, but he had already prepared a place to place them. Nanhe Lane should be the place where the infected should be placed.

The two men rushed wildly, and several officers and soldiers just surrounded them and did not take action easily. Whenever the infected rushed over, they would block them back with shields.

Suddenly I saw an officer find a space, rush up from behind, and punch a man on the back of the head. The man shook, and soon he was paralyzed. The soldier immediately grabbed the foot of the fainted man. , pulled over, and another person on the side stepped forward to help and tied the person with a rope.
