[Chapter 807 Target]

Qi Ning’s face was quite dignified, he turned and walked out the door, Bai Shenghao followed closely behind, and closed the door smoothly.

“When did you find it?” Qi Ning put his hands on his back and turned to look at Bai Shenghao.

Bai Shenghao said: “In the evening. At the place agreed with the gray crow, I followed the instructions of Lord Hou, and deployed people. Yesterday evening, a brother heard movement outside the door and immediately alerted. When he opened the door, he found The gray crow was seriously injured and was leaning outside the door.”

“Did someone send him there?”

Bai Shenghao shook his head and said, “No, judging from the signs at the time, the gray crow rushed to the agreed place, the alley. There are bloodstains left by him, and it can be judged that he found the door by himself.”

“That is to say, the gray crow fought with others before arriving at the appointed place.” Qi Ning pondered for a while before asking: “What did he say?”

Bai Shenghao said: “When we found him, he was dying and unconscious. The brothers under his command immediately reported it. I heard them describe the situation of the gray crow and knew that the gray crow had been poisoned. I was about to send Zhong Ya away, and after knowing this, Zhong Ya came here with me.”

“What poison did the gray crow have?” Qi Ning asked.

Bai Shenghao said: “It’s not yet known for sure, but Zhong Ya should know. Yesterday we secretly transported the gray crow here. At that time, the gray crow was black and could not survive. If it hadn’t been for Zhong Ya’s timely action, the gray crow would not have survived. It is already a corpse. There are six wounds on the gray crow’s body, but these six wounds are not fatal. The fatal thing is that two of the wounds are highly poisonous, which should be highly poisoned on the enemy’s weapons.

” So, the Grey Crow’s opponent was not one person at that time? If the opponent’s weapon is poisoned, every wound should be poisonous.” Qi Ning’s face was solemn.

Bai Shenghao said: “Yes, it can be judged from the wound that the gray crow was facing at least two people at that time. We transported the gray crow here, and Zhong Ya began to detoxify him with silver needles. First, we must control the toxins in his body. Attack the heart, and then slowly detoxify him.” After a pause, he said: “At present, Zhong Ya has almost controlled the attack of the poison on the heart of the gray crow, but he has not been able to find a detoxification drug.

” So far, the crow has not said a word, what happened, you don’t know?” Qi Ning asked.

Bai Shenghao said: “Zhong Ya’s meaning is to wait for the Marquis to come back. Zhong Ya said that he can use a silver needle to pierce several acupoints of the gray crow, so that he can wake up for a short time, but it will not last too long, but it should be A clue can be revealed. If the toxins in the gray crow were replaced by ordinary people, it would be impossible to hold on to it.

Zhong Ya checked it. After the gray crow was poisoned, it should have quickly taken the medicine to protect the heart, which could barely last for a period of time. Fortunately, before the medicinal properties disappeared, Zhong Ya prevented the poison from invading the heart in time.”

“In their line of work, there is always some way to save one’s life.” Qi Ning sighed, “There is something on the side of the Prince of Dong Qi. What’s the situation?”

Bai Shenghao immediately said: “Don’t worry, Lord Marquis, after Elder Suzaku knew what Lord Marquis meant, he not only sent people to monitor the vicinity of the post house, but also took the post in person. After the emperor left the capital, the people of Shenhou’s mansion had already arranged in the post house. Around the pavilion, and the Tiger God Battalion also dispatched soldiers and horses to guard the streets around the post pavilion, and now there are three floors inside and outside the three floors protected by water, even if it wants to fly a fly in it is not easy.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, “It seems that the imperial court is also worried that someone will take advantage of this opportunity to harm Prince Dong Qi.” I thought that since the Shenhou Mansion already knew that it would do everything in its power to protect the safety of Prince Dong Qi, then Shadow Mouse wanted to assassinate Prince Dong Qi. Facing an opponent like Shenhou Mansion, there should be no chance.

Suddenly seeing the door open, Zhong Ya came over and said, “Master Hou!”

Qi Ning cupped her hands to Zhong Ya and asked, “Mr. Zhong, how is the grey crow?”

“I don’t have any worries about life for now.” Zhong Ya said, “But the situation is not good. Right now I can only pierce the acupoint with a silver needle to protect his heart. But the venom in the body is puzzled, so it’s impossible to turn the corner. It is a silver needle to protect the heart, and it will not last for too long. Three days is the limit, and within these three days, I cannot leave an inch.”

“That is to say, if I can’t find the antidote within three days. , he will surely die?”

Zhong Ya nodded slightly: “Indeed. The shadow mouse walks in the rivers and lakes and shoots deadly, and the poison they use has always been very poisonous. From the injuries on the gray crow, it can be concluded that when he fought fiercely with others, He was injured by the opponent’s weapon, and the toxin penetrated into his body. Fortunately, he noticed it and took the medicine to protect his heart in time, otherwise he would have died.”

“Master Bai Duo said that Mr. Bai has a way to wake him up temporarily .

Come here?”

Zhong Ya nodded slightly: “This is also a no-brainer method, the silver needle penetrates the brain, it can stimulate the meridians of his brain and make him regain consciousness for a short time, but how long it will last, even I can’t be sure, maybe it’s just Time for three or five sentences.” After a pause, he said: “Master Hou, according to my guess, the shadow mouse should have known the other party’s plan, and then found a chance to escape, but was discovered by the other party, and then sent someone to kill He silenced, the gray crow was lucky and escaped from death, if he wakes up, he should know where the shadow mice are now.”

Qi Ning thought for a while before saying, “It’s not too late, please also ask Zhong. Help me sir.”

Zhong Ya didn’t talk nonsense, turned around and entered the room, followed by Qi Ning and Bai Shenghao.

At this time, the gray crow was covered with silver needles, and Zhong Ya moved both hands, holding a thin silver needle in each hand, looked at Qi Ning and said, “If you have anything to say, please wait until he opens his eyes. Don’t delay.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, and then Zhong Ya approached, stretched out both hands, and shot the silver needle, almost simultaneously piercing the temples on both sides of the gray crow.

The silver needle entered his head, and the gray crow, who had been motionless, suddenly moved violently. Qi Ning quickly approached the past, and the gray crow took a deep breath and opened his eyes. Naturally, Qi Ning did not forget Zhong Ya’s instructions and quickly He asked, “Grey Crow, where are those shadow mice now?”

Grey Crow’s eyeballs looked at Qi Ning slightly. The previous episode, Qi Ning was disguised to see him. Today, with his true face, Grey Crow naturally Very unfamiliar, asked weakly, “You… Who are you?”

“We are from the Beggar Gang.” Bai Shenghao immediately said: “Grey Crow, you were injured, we have rescued you. Come here and tell us quickly, where are the shadow mice?” “The Beggar

Gang…!” Gray Crow’s lips moved slightly: “You…you are Bai Shenghao…!”

Bai Shenghao Very anxious, “I’m Bai Shenghao, Gray Crow, where are Duan Qingchen’s group? What do they want to do?”

“Duan Qingchen?” Hanging down: “They…the emperor…the emperor’s mausoleum…!” There was a “crack” in his throat, and he made a whirring sound, then took a quick breath, Zhong Ya’s face changed slightly, With his right hand sticking out, he inserted two more needles into the grey crow’s heart.

At this time, the gray crow had closed his eyes, his body twitched slightly, but he stopped talking.

“Imperial Mausoleum!” Qi Ning’s heart froze, seeing the gray crow closing his eyes, he quickly asked, “Mr. Zhong, can he still speak?”

Zhong Ya shook his head and said, “Master Hou, the silver needle is a last resort. , his brain meridians were forcibly stimulated, and he has been slightly damaged. He can’t move any more for at least 24 hours, otherwise his brain will easily be completely damaged, and he will be like an idiot from then on.”

Qi Ning looked solemn, Bai Shenghao has already said: “Marquis, the gray crow mentioned the emperor’s mausoleum, could it be… that the group of shadow mice will target the emperor’s mausoleum?”

“There shouldn’t be a mistake.” Qi Ning frowned and said, “Just what are they going to do in the imperial tomb? The imperial tomb is now blocked inside and outside, and the group of shadow mice has no chance to sneak in…!” His face was cold and thoughtful. After a while, his body suddenly shook, and he lost his voice: “Not good!”

“Master Hou, could it be…!” Zhong Ya also thought about it for a while, and came up with a look of surprise : “Could it be that the group of shadow mice have already sneaked into the imperial tomb?”

Qi Ning felt a chill in his heart.

He believes that the clues revealed by the gray crows will never be wrong. The ultimate goal of the group of shadow mice is indeed at the imperial mausoleum. The mouse can’t penetrate in either. Since that’s the case, then the shadow mouse is likely to have mixed in.

There are quite a lot of people entering the imperial mausoleum this time. In addition to the two or three hundred officials in the court, there are also 800 elite soldiers, the guards stationed in the imperial mausoleum, and the eunuchs and palace maids add up to one or two hundred people. There are also monks and Taoist priests who recite the scriptures, adding up to no less than 2,000 people.

The number of shadow mice is not large. According to speculation, there are at most a dozen or twenty people. These people are good at assassination. Disguise and concealment are also their specialty. If there are unscrupulous people in the court to help secretly, then It is not too difficult for these shadow mice to hide in this group of people.

Although the number of shadow mice is quite large, if they really make a sudden move at the sacrificial ceremony, the consequences are really unimaginable.

“If they really sneak in, there are thousands of people participating in the sacrificial ceremony this time, how can they be found out?” Bai Shenghao looked solemn: “If you send someone to search for it, it will definitely be a big fanfare, and it will definitely cause a stir. The commotion, I’m afraid the consequences will be more serious…!”

Qi Ning’s eyes were like knives, and he was silent for a moment, and finally said: “Bai Duozhu, Mr. Zhong, Prince Dongqi can’t take it lightly, you still pay attention to it. Over there, over the imperial mausoleum, I have my own concerns.” He glanced at the motionless gray crow and said, “This person keeps his promise and is considered a man, Mr. Zhong, you should save his life here and try your best to save him. .”

Zhong Ya said, “I will do my best if you don’t tell me.”

“Take care of you two.” Qi Ning hurried out the door. Qi Feng had been waiting outside the door. Up, Qi Ning didn’t wait for him to speak, and said in a deep voice: “Qi Feng, there is something you need to do now, without any delay!”
