A Clash of Gods - Chapter 235

[Chapter 234 The Imperial Study]

Qi Ning and the others did not delay and went straight to Yong’an Hall.

Because Tang Nuo was here, Yongantang was closed and a sign was put up. The door of the pharmacy was closed, and the staff in the store could rest for a day, leaving only one staff to take care of it.

Duan Canghai personally guarded here with a follower.

After Zhao Wushang knocked on the door and Qi Ning went in, Duan Canghai was a little surprised. Qi Ning left in the early morning, but it was not until noon, but he came back.

“How about Miss Tang? As soon as she entered the shop, Qi Ning asked immediately.”

Duan Canghai shook his head and said, “After Lord Hou left, Miss Tang has been inside and never came out once.”

Qi Ning knew that Tang Nuo would not be able to come out in a short time. After thinking for a while, she hesitated for a while when she walked to the front of the room, and finally knocked on the door.

After a while, Tang Nuo opened the door, and Qi Ning saw that she was wearing a mouthpiece, her hands were slightly open, and the gloves were full of blood. Seeing that Tang Nuo’s clear eyes were filled with doubts, she hurriedly said, “Miss Tang. , I went to the Shenhou Mansion just now, and they also found someone to examine the corpse. I brought back some news, and after thinking about it, should I tell you, can you speak now?”

Dono nodded.

“It’s like this.” Qi Ning didn’t want to delay Tang Nuo, so he said simply and clearly: “They found a poison in the corpse that used Gu egg poison as an introduction. According to them, this poison should come from Bashu Xiling. Yin and Yang world, and they have almost determined that this poison should be forged by the Jiuxi Poison King.”

He thought that if he told Tang Nuo this news, Tang Nuo would be somewhat surprised even if he wasn’t surprised.

But Tang Nuo’s eyes were as calm as water, he just nodded slightly and said, “I see.”

Tang Nuo reacted like this, but Qi Ning was a little surprised. He understood something and asked, “Miss Tang, you… did you already know that there is a poisonous egg in the epidemic poison.”

Tang Nuo nodded slightly, and finally said, “The Gu egg poison is just a drug lead. In addition, there are other poisons mixed into it. I want to find out which poisons are mixed into it, and then find a way to detoxify it.”

“But…!” Qi Ning hesitated for a while, and finally said: “But according to the Shenhou Mansion, the poisonous eggs produced by the Yin and Yang world are the most poisonous things in the world, and they have no way to do it. Detoxification. If you can’t even decipher Gu egg poison, even if other medicinal properties are found, I’m afraid…!”

Tang Nuo already understood what Qi Ning meant, shook his head and said, “Although Gu egg poison is the most poisonous thing in the world, it is not incomprehensible. As early as a few years ago, the master has found a way to decipher the Gu egg poison.”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, then he was surprised and lost his voice: “Miss Tang, you mean…you mean you can detoxify?”

“I didn’t say that.” Tang Nuo corrected: “I only said that I can solve the Gu egg poison, but the current epidemic poison is not just the Gu egg poison.”

“Yes, yes…!” On the way back to Qi Ning, there was still some anxiety in his heart. Even the Shenhou Mansion had nothing to do with the poison of Gu eggs. He was really worried about whether Tang Nuo could really detoxify the poison. An epidemic situation in the capital was difficult to deal with. Now that Tang Nuo didn’t care about the poisonous eggs that made Shenhou Manor troublesome and helpless, his heart suddenly calmed down: “Miss Tang, your medical skills are very good, this time the people in the capital have Safety is all on your shoulders.”

Tang Nuo seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he still asked, “Does the Shenhou Mansion think that the poison of this epidemic was caused by the poisonous king of Jiuxi?”

Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, “They only said that Jiuxi Poison King is the biggest suspect. Although it has not been finalized, they should be ready to search for Jiuxi Poison King.”

Tang Nuo just gave a soft “um”, and closed the door without saying anything.

Qi Ning breathed a sigh of relief, he liked to see Tang Nuo’s light-hearted look, revealing his self-confidence.

Qi Ning didn’t leave Yong’an Hall, but stayed at the pharmacy. He found a place to rest for a while. Tired, he fell asleep in a daze, and Duan Canghai and the others did not dare to disturb him.

I don’t know how long it took,

Suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, saw Duan Canghai beside him, turned over and sat up, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Duan Canghai said solemnly: “Master Hou, the epidemic has broken out. I went out to inquire a little bit and found that the capital is full of officers and soldiers, almost all the people from the Tiger God Camp have been dispatched, and all the yamen in the capital have also been dispatched. Come out, the streets are catching those infected.”

Qi Ning rubbed his face, turned his head to look out the window, and asked, “What time is it?”

“It’s already Shen Shi.” Duan Canghai said hurriedly, “I saw that Lord Hou was sleeping soundly, so I didn’t dare to disturb him, but now the situation outside is very serious, so I still woke Lord Hou.”

At this time, the guy who stayed in the shop had already called hot water very smartly. Qi Ning washed his face and asked, “How many people are infected?”

“I also asked, but I don’t know the exact number.” Duan Canghai looked serious: “But the three thousand tiger camps plus the three hundred yamen from the capital have been dispatched. I heard that it is very likely that the Xuanwu University will be mobilized. The soldiers of the battalion came to Beijing. From this point of view, there are not a few people who have been infected and have become poisoned, otherwise they would not have needed such a force. I heard that four or five hundred people have been arrested, and the number of infected people is still increasing. .”

Zhao Wushang said by the side: “Master Hou, the capital is in a bit of chaos now, but it’s still under control. If Master Hou didn’t work hard last night, Xue Lingfeng had been prepared in advance, and now I’m afraid the situation will be even worse. .”

Qi Ning nodded slightly and asked, “What do the soldiers and horses of the Xuanwu camp mean?”

Duan Canghai knew that this master had just been enlightened, and he seemed to have become interested in state affairs recently, but he used to not ask about everything. It was not surprising that he didn’t know Xuanwu Daying, and explained: “Master Hou, Xuanwu Camp is an army guarding the capital. It is stationed in the vicinity of Xuanwu Lake, north of the capital, and it is the horn of the Black Saber Camp. However, the equipment and combat power of the Xuanwu Camp is still somewhat different from that of the Black Saber Camp, but the Xuanwu Camp is the strongest among the four battalions in the garrison of Gyeonggi. battalion.”

“So it is.” Only then did Qi Ning understand. He knew that the imperial city was guarded by Yulin Camp, while the capital was guarded by Tiger God Battalion. The Black Sword Battalion was stationed in Stone City outside the city, but he didn’t know there was Xuanwu. Camp this army.

“The Xuanwu Camp has 8,000 soldiers and horses, which is several times that of the Black Sabre Battalion.” Duan Canghai simply explained: “The Royal Yulin Battalion has 1,500 people, and the Tiger God Battalion has 3,000 people. This is the main place in the capital. The two battalions are guarded, and outside the capital are the eight thousand soldiers and horses of the Xuanwu Camp and the thousand soldiers and horses of the Black Sabre Battalion.”

“There are only a thousand people in the Black Sabre Battalion?” Qi Ning was a little surprised.

Duan Canghai said with a smile, “You don’t know what Marquis does. The Black Sword Battalion and the Black Scale Battalion are the same. Although there are not many staffs, the selection is extremely strict. The soldiers inside are skilled in bowing and horses. In this case, if we really want to fight, thousands of people will join forces and be invincible.”

Qi Ning thought of the few black sword camp warriors he had seen behind the broken temple in the forest, and the figure of the heavy-eyed warrior was very clear in his mind.

Although there were only a few people, when they first appeared on the stage, they very simply dealt with a group of assassins who were chasing the little emperor.

I guess that’s the style of the Black Knife Camp.

Suddenly I heard a knock on the door, the door of the pharmacy was always closed, it was already dusk, and suddenly someone knocked on the door, and several people suddenly became alert.

“Who is it?” Duan Canghai walked to the door and asked, not in a hurry to open the door.

Qi Feng’s voice came from outside: “Second brother Duan, it’s me!”

Duan Canghai opened the door, Qi Feng quickly flashed in, looked up to see Qi Ning, and hurriedly said, “Master Hou, I guessed that you must be here.”

“How is the situation outside?”

“It’s a little confusing. On the way, people who have encountered the outbreak of the virus have been arrested by officers and soldiers several times.” Qi Feng said: “It seems that they will not be able to survive for a while, yes, Lord Hou, hurry into the palace, the emperor will send People came to the mansion to tell you to enter the palace, I guess you should be here, so I ran over.”

“The emperor is looking for me?” Qi Ning was stunned, but instantly knew that it must be related to the outbreak of today’s epidemic, thinking to find me at this time, is there any way I can do it, but the emperor summoned, naturally can not delay, Qi Ning Let Qi Feng stay behind to take care of the pharmacy, and Duan Canghai and Zhao Wushang will escort them to the palace.

Duan Canghai and Zhao Wushang were still in good spirits after not sleeping all night last night. After all, they were all brave men from the Black Scale Camp.

Qi Ning was escorted by several people to enter the palace, but from time to time he saw officers and soldiers running by in groups, and a small number of cavalry roared past. Said, many places in the capital are obviously quite chaotic.

Entering the palace, knowing Qi Ning’s identity, the eunuch in his own palace led Qi Ning to the Wende Hall. The Wende Hall was the place where the emperor handled government affairs after he retired from the dynasty. The study I saw this time was quite different, it was more spacious and more resplendent.

Qi Ning arrived in the imperial study, and after the eunuch communicated the report, the little emperor Longtai immediately let Qi Ning enter the imperial study, and when he was inside, Qi Ning saw several important officials in court clothes were in the imperial study. In the study, I glanced at it, there were about five or six people, but nearly half of them knew each other.

Apart from the Marquis of Zhongyi and the Marquis of Ximen, the King of Huainan was also impressively included.

Just seeing that they were wearing solemn court clothes, Qi Ning suddenly thought that he didn’t have time to change the court clothes, but entered the palace in casual clothes, but he didn’t know if he would be blamed.

The little emperor Longtai was sitting behind the imperial desk with a very solemn expression. When he saw Qi Ning coming in, his eyes lit up and his brows stretched slightly. Qi Ning had already stepped forward to see him, and Longtai had already raised his hand and said, “Marquis of Jinyi, get up and speak, I have something to discuss with you.”

Qi Ning Xie En got up and stepped back to the side.

He glanced at the Marquis of Zhongyi. The Marquis of Zhongyi and the King of Huainan stood on the left and the right at the place closest to the imperial desk. The Marquis of Ximen stood at the head of Marquis Zhongyi. Seeing Qi Ning coming over, Marquis of Ximen opened the distance from Marquis Zhongyi. , a space was vacated in the middle, obviously for Qi Ning.

Although Ximen Wuhen was given the title of Marquis of God and he was also a marquis, he was still slightly inferior to the four hereditary marquis. Although Qi Ning was young, he was the Marquis of Jinyi after all.

Qi Ning knew that this was not polite, the court rituals, their own high and low, smiled at Ximen Wuhen, and then stood over, swept the corner of his eyes, and the other three people did not know each other, but Wuxiang Hou Su Zhen. He wasn’t among them, but he didn’t know if the three strangers were among them.

He glanced at the king of Huainan, but saw that the king of Huainan was also looking at him, and when Qi Ning looked over, the king of Huainan smiled slightly and seemed very amiable. If he hadn’t known from others that this person coveted the throne Qi Ning really felt that at least on the surface, the King of Huainan was much more pleasing to the eye than the Marquis of Zhongyi.
