Chapter 214 The Unpredictable Monthly Pass of the Emperor's Heart](1/2)
What is the "immortal pill" that Ying Zheng usually eats?
Li Jue looked at the green pill in front of him and was stunned.
He thought it was Heshi Bi. Even ordinary jade pendants were good, but they turned out to be elixirs.
This is not a fairy pill that prolongs life, but a life-threatening poison pill.
Ying Zheng had already eaten it and looked refreshed. Li Jue knew that this was temporary and the sequelae would accumulate slowly.
But after Ying Zheng finished eating, he still looked at him. If he didn't eat, he would be disrespectful and would be beheaded.
Li Jue was speechless and helpless.
Looking at Zhao Gao and some temple people around him, he wanted to tell these people that he didn't want to eat.
If possible, he even wanted to give it to Zhao Gao.
But I'm afraid it won't work.
Li Jue picked up the green pill in embarrassment and ate it in public, but in fact he secretly held it in his hand.
He looked intoxicated and then bowed to Ying Zheng, "Thank you for giving the pill, the little minister is frightened."
Seeing this, Ying Zheng was very satisfied, "If you like it, show it well, and I will never give it a reward."
besides?
Li Jue wanted to cry, but he would still behave worse in the future.
Ying Zheng stood up and sent Li Jue some money and cloth, as well as more than a dozen jars of palace jade wine.
Then he said, "It is no small matter to kill the King of Qi. You are loyal to the Qin Dynasty. I will never forget that these are rewards to you and sent to your home."
Li Jue was overjoyed, this is a good thing.
Giving money and food is the most important thing.
He hurriedly thanked, and Ying Zheng suddenly changed his face and said seriously: "But remember, if you kill King Jian of Qi this time and you can't survive tonight, I will destroy you three tribes!"
Li Jue was frightened and remembered what Fusu told him that King Jian of Qi was the king of the devastated country, and everyone was watching.
Moreover, the Qin Dynasty wanted to kill King Jian of Qi. There are rumors that King Jian of Qi was an immortal cultivator, so it was unknown.
Therefore, if Li Jue killed King Jian of Qi and died suddenly, it would definitely prove that the rumors were extremely unfavorable to the reputation of the Qin Dynasty.
Therefore.
No matter what, Li Jue can't have anything to do, and even has to be full of redness.
You can imagine the intention of Ying Zheng to give these things. If Li Jue is fine, he will eat and drink well, and go out to see people in vain.
If something happened to Li Jue and died suddenly, these things would be his tomb sacrifice.
There was a smile on the corner of Zhao Gao's mouth, and a chill flashed in his eyes. Li Jue actually dared to depose his son-in-law and let his daughter stay a widow.
He hated Li Jue to the core, and this time he wished that Li Jue would kill the King of Qi and then die suddenly.
Even if you don’t die suddenly, it’s best to be plagued by bad luck and have a sick body.
Even so, it can prove that Li Jue killed the immortal cultivator and was unknown.
Zhao Gao even thought about it. When he went back this time, he would definitely let Li Jue survive tonight. Even if he survived, he would definitely be plagued by illness.
Li Jue didn't know what Zhao Gao was thinking, but seeing Zhao Gao's face, he knew that this dead eunuch was full of bad water.
I have a scheming in my heart.
He clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, the little minister will never let down his mission."
Ying Zheng nodded and then said, "You go down and wait for this king to summon him, and then come out and kill the King of Qi."
Then he left and headed to the front hall.
Zhao Gao also followed, and an ordinary temple man bowed and took Li Jue to a side hall near the Xuxiantai.
The temple guarded the people, and there were guards waiting outside the door.
Soon someone brought Li Jue some food and some wine.
When Li Jue heard the noisy sound outside, he knew that the King of Qi had been escorted into the palace, and that the heroes were all paying homage to Ying Zheng.
From a distance, he could hear Ying Zheng's hearty laughter and the congratulations of his ministers.
He didn't go out. In fact, if he hadn't wanted to kill the King of Qi, he wouldn't want to enter the palace.
Therefore, after he sat down, he drank and drank by himself, but after he picked up the cup, his face changed.
The temple man was serving by his side. He noticed Li Jue's face and asked quickly: "Director Li, what's wrong?"
Li Jue said: "Nothing."
He looked at the temple's people carefully and found that this was an ordinary eunuch. He was not worried at that moment, and there was nothing suspicious about it.
but.
The table of wine and meat in front of him was filled with poison.
Ordinary people cannot distinguish all kinds of mixed poisons, and ordinary pharmacists will definitely not be able to detect them.
In other words, Li Jue has the Bian Que inheritance and alchemy techniques. These things can be seen with just a glance.
And if you smell it carefully, he will be able to smell it.
Who poisoned him?
Li Jue frowned. He was having a meal in the palace. The place where he could give medicine was the imperial kitchen and the way to deliver the food.
but.
Li Jue thinks he is diligent and will not offend others, and it is impossible for anyone to want to kill him in the palace.
He drank wine and ate meat himself, and the amount of poison in these wine and vegetables was not large, so he would not poison a person.
Especially for him, it is actually just a matter of operating a celestial immortal decree that can be resolved.
but.
The poisoned person is not aware of it.
Li Jue murmured, "Who wants my life? This poison will definitely not be fatal to deal with an ordinary master."
"Is it because of the remnants of the six kingdoms that I don't want me to kill the King of Qi, so I want to kill me? But it's impossible. Without me, there would be other executioners."
At this moment, Li Jue thought of Zhao Gao.
The person who can poison him in the palace and has such means and ability is Zhao Gao.
If he asked the temple carefully, the people who brought the meal and the situation in the imperial kitchen, he would be sure that it was probably Zhao Gao, and if it was not him, he would not be able to escape.
A chill flashed in Li Jue's eyes, and he had already murderous intent on Zhao Gao.
Although he had a bit of a festive relationship with Zhao Gao in the past, he was not only there, but he also wanted to wait for Zhao Gao to develop and kill him.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Gao was seeking death and wanted to poison him.
Then there is no need to show mercy.
But Li Jue would not kill Zhao Gao so cheaply, otherwise it would have no effect except venting anger.
And it also makes people suspect that he might have killed it.
After all, Zhao Gao had a grudge with him, and there were still a few people who knew that they could get him by just a little bit.
Li Jue doesn't want to cause trouble.
Killing Zhao Gao should be justified and reasonable.
Li Jue was thinking of a solution in his mind, and kept eating and drinking in his mouth.
The celebration banquet outside has begun and has gradually entered the **.
Li Jue finished all the food and then sent another serving, which made him feel comfortable.
Although he can detoxify, he still feels unhappy after taking these things.
Bang bang.
Someone knocked on the door.
The temple man opened the door and then saw clearly the person coming. He quickly knelt down and bowed.
The visitor was Mr. Li, the husband of Daqin. He did not attend the ceremony, but came here instead.
Li Jue was stunned for a moment.
After Mr. Li came in, he interrupted Li Jue for salute, found a seat on his own, and then took a look at the wine and meat on the table.
He shook his head and said, "I took my elixir and you were overeating."
Li Jue was stunned and remembered that the green pills given by Ying Zheng were refined by Duke Li and Duke Taishan.
He said, "What's wrong?"
Huang Gongdao: "I have been practicing and practicing alchemy with people from the outside world since I was a child. It has been eighty years since then, and it can be considered as a success in my practice."
