Chapter 377: Beat the 2nd Prince
Seeing Zhong Kui hesitating, Xiao Jingxuan asked, "Why did the Shangguan clan stop you? Tell me quickly, don't hesitate."
Zhong Kui's face turned red. "They want to use the beauties of the Shangguan clan to win over the subordinates and make them the son-in-law of the Shangguan clan."
Jamel Xiao and Ye Tang widened their eyes when they heard this. This was different from what they had expected.
How could the Shangguan clan have such an outrageous idea?
Zhong Kui continued, "The people of the Shangguan clan asked me about my family background. I said my name was Zhong Jin, and I was alone and came from the countryside. I relied on my strength to survive to this day. I heard that the Shangguan clan is a family of supernatural powers, and all the supernatural powers in the world come from the Shangguan clan, so I admired them very much, so I went to the imperial city and dared to challenge Shangguan Qiang. This competition made me realize that there are always people who are better than you, and I admire the Shangguan clan even more!"
"When they saw how much I admired the Shangguan Clan, they laughed happily and said that the Shangguan Clan liked men like me who had great strength, and that the women in the clan also admired men with great strength. They asked me to join the Shangguan Clan and marry a woman from the Shangguan Clan. With my strength and the Shangguan Clan's genetic bloodline, my children would definitely have supernatural powers."
Zhong Kui curled his lips and said, "To put it bluntly, they just saw my strength and wanted me to carry on the Shangguan family's lineage."
After marrying into the wife's family, the child born took the mother's surname and was a descendant of the Shangguan clan, and had nothing to do with him, Zhong Kuike.
The corner of Ye Tang's mouth twitched: "The Shangguan clan is really mean. In order to give birth to powerful offspring, they actually let the women of the clan make such sacrifices and use outsiders. After using outsiders, what will they do?"
Zhong Kui shrugged and said, "What can we do? Kill them all! Do you think they will keep those outsiders?"
Jamel Xiao said to him: "I'm sorry for wronging you, go and have a rest first."
"Subordinates resign!"
Not long after Zhong Kui left, Liu An, Hong Longfei, Dugu Wushuang and He Songlin came over.
Liu An sat down and said, "I have thought about it for a long time, but I still can't figure out why Nalan Chen wants to kill me? I don't even know him!"
When he came to Penglai Kingdom, he only made enemies with the Yu clan and the Miao clan, and did not provoke anyone from the royal family.
And if you calculate the time, Nalan Chen was only ten years old that year. How could an old man like him bully a child?
"If you don't know him, will they send assassins to kill you?" Hong Longfei rolled his eyes at Liu An and said, "You must have forgotten. You bullied him and forgot about him. You are really too much, old man."
Dugu Wushuang nodded in agreement: "It's quite excessive."
Liu An glared: "If I said I don't know him, then I don't know him. What do you mean by forgetting or not forgetting? I have a very good memory."
Hong Longfei asked: "Do you remember anything before you were three years old?"
"do not remember."
"Then you say you have a good memory, ugh!"
"Mr. Hong, you are looking for trouble, right?"
The two old men started arguing.
Ye Tang quickly separated the two people: "You two elders, stop arguing. Now is not the time to quarrel."
She asked Hong Longfei: "Mr. Hong, did you find any clues when you went to the Second Prince's Mansion?"
The purpose of their visit to Penglai this time is not only to understand the national strength of Penglai, but the most important purpose is to find medicine to detoxify Ye Qianbai.
When she and Xiao Jingxuan followed Nalan Xu to stroll around the imperial city, Liu An and others were not idle and started investigating Nalan Chen.
Old Hong even relied on his unparalleled lightness skills to sneak into the Second Prince's mansion.
Old Master Hong said, "There are many experts in the Second Prince's mansion, and the mansion is too big. The old lady is unfamiliar with the place, and not only did she get lost, she was also discovered by a secret guard and caused a big commotion in the palace."
When he was hiding from the secret guards in the palace, he accidentally broke into a study room and happened to see the Second Prince doing that kind of thing with his concubine, so he beat the Second Prince up.
Hong Longfei smiled cunningly: "I'll beat you while I'm talking, I'll let you send assassins to the Yuan Dynasty to kill me, I'll let you collude with the Miao clan, if you dare to send assassins to kill me again, I'll castrate you!"
"I'll run away after the fight!"
Hong Longfei laughed happily: "That kid is going crazy now!"
Ye Tang and others: "......"
Jamel Xiao said speechlessly: "So, he thinks you are my master?"
Hong Longfei raised his eyebrows: "I have always been your master."
Liu An slapped him and said, "If you want to hit someone, just hit him. Why put the blame on me?"
Hong Longfei dodged his slap: "He wants to kill you. He knows you are in Penglai Country, so he will definitely not let you go. He will send a new assassin. Let's capture that assassin and use him to develop an antidote, isn't that great?"
"He knows you are in Penglai, but he has been unable to kill you. He will definitely do something desperate."
He said to Liu An earnestly, "Ye Qianbai said nothing. The Second Prince was inferred by Jing Xuan and Ye Tang. We don't have solid evidence to prove that he wants to kill you. I made such a scene today. If he really sends assassins to kill you, hehe, doesn't it indirectly prove that he is the mastermind behind the scenes? The enemy is thrown into disarray, so we can take the opportunity to cause trouble."
Xiao Jingxuan said: "I have made a new discovery about my great-uncle's poison, but I am still short of three herbs. If Nalan Chen is the mastermind behind this, he should have these three herbs in his hands."
"What medicine? Tell me quickly." Ye Tang asked anxiously.
Xiao Jingxuan said: "Soul-breaking flower, purple brocade grass, flame fruit."
Liu An suddenly realized: "These three herbs are all poisonous. It is recorded in the medical book I gave you. It was written by the old man from the Yu family."
Xiao Jingxuan nodded: "Yes, I have never seen these three herbs. I just inferred from medical books that they should be able to cure the poison in my uncle's body. After the herbs are found, they cannot be used as medicine immediately. Let me study them carefully."
Everyone present memorized these three medicines.
Outside the door, Ye Qianbai listened to the noise inside. His face under the mask was pale and covered with cold sweat, and his body couldn't stop shaking.
He covered his heart and returned to his room.
He was the one who implicated everyone. Everyone was trying their best to help him, but he could do nothing.
At this moment, in the Second Prince's Mansion, Nalan Chen, with a bruised face and nose, was furious and smashed things all over the floor.
"Asshole, with so many experts, they can't catch a thief. Useless things are all useless!"
After a long temper tantrum, Nalan Chen finally calmed down, called a confidant, and asked gloomily: "Liu An is here, why is there no news about Gui Dao? Where did he go?"
The confidant is a Gu Master who has Ghost Blade's life Gu in his hand. Although this life Gu is not as powerful as Miao's Gu, it cannot track the murderer, nor can it cause harm to the person who killed Ghost Blade, but it can control Ghost Blade's life and death, allowing him to clearly know whether Ghost Blade is dead or alive.
