Martial Emperor of Couching Phoenix - C326 Herba Anemarrhenae
During these four years of closed door cultivation, even with the Little sister Ming Hua often accompanying him, Zhao Mingzhe unconsciously thought of Ye Jinxuan at times. But now, it was the first time he had heard this name come from another person’s mouth.
Zhao Shenglong continued:
“Isn’t that perfect! Ye Jinxuan, this woman, should have died a long time ago. Now, if she went to a place like Red Mountain Fury Sea, wouldn’t it be the right time for her to die! ”
Seeing that Zhao Mingzhe was still silent, Su Xie coughed a few times and said:
“Things are often not as simple as you think. What if what Da Haotian said really happened? If there is someone within this group of cultivators in Heavenly Light Nation who is able to comprehend the secrets of the Red Mountain Fury Sea and produce a group of experts, it would not be a good thing for the Great Mo Nation! ”
Zhao Shenglong lowered his head to think, and said loudly:
“It’s actually simple. I will return to the northwest border now and bring a group of elite soldiers to the Red Mountain Fury Sea to stop Ye Jinxuan from bringing a group of people there!”
Su Xie shook his head and sighed.
“It’s useless. Do you think that Da Haotian did not send anyone else to stop the barbarians from entering the Red Mountain Fury Sea? However, he could not do it! The Red Mountain Fury Sea is vast, not only is it located in the Eastern Barbarian Lands, it also has borders with other countries. As long as someone wants to enter, they will be able to think of a way. ”
Zhao Mingzhe thought for a while, then suddenly understood what was going on.
“The reason you had Shenglong call me back was not because Da Haotian wanted to come to the capital, but because of the matter with the Red Mountain Fury Sea, right?”
Su Xie did not deny it and nodded his head straightforwardly.
“The matter of the Red Mountain Fury Sea has already reached the point where it must be resolved. You may not know this, but Ye Jinxuan went into closed door cultivation earlier than you did. It was said that her advancement in the past few years was beyond imagination. As to what kind of strength she had reached, no one knew. Since Ye Jinxuan dares to bring the elite cultivators of the Heavenly Light Nation into the Red Mountain Fury Sea, maybe she is really confident that she can solve the secret inside! ”
Hearing Su Xie’s words, Zhao Mingzhe became silent, and thought that although Su Xie didn’t seem to know about the affairs of the Red Mountain Fury Sea in front of Da Haotian, in reality, Su Xie knew even more than him.
It looks like in these four years, not only did Su Xie manage to support the internal development of the Great Mo Nation, he also had to pay attention to some people and things in other nations.
At this time, Zhao Shenglong frowned, and smacked his lips.
“Hearing your majesty say this, Red Mountain Fury Sea is already the most troublesome matter right now.”
Zhao Mingzhe’s eyes suddenly became cold, and said:
“NO!” In my opinion, the Red Mountain Fury Sea is not the most troublesome matter yet. There is something that I have to quickly resolve, and it is right in front of me! ”
As Zhao Mingzhe’s voice fell, Su Xie, Zhao Shenglong and even Wu Chenzi could not help but be taken aback, as they did not understand what he meant.
At this time, a guard from the palace walked over with an exquisite porcelain bottle in his hand. He knelt on the ground and said:
“Great King, it’s time to use the pill!”
Being interrupted by the attendant, Su Xie did not ask what Zhao Mingzhe meant by what he said just now. Taking the porcelain bottle, he took out a white pill that released a sweet smell and was about to eat it, when Zhao Mingzhe suddenly said coldly:
“Don’t eat it yet. What kind of illness does this pill cure?”
A flash of light appeared in Su Xie’s eyes, and then he calmly said:
“This medicinal pill is used to dispel the cold poison!”
“Then let me take a look first!”
Su Xie looked at Zhao Mingzhe and laughed.
“I have forgotten that you are a deeply hidden pill refiner. It’s fine if you take a look at this pill.”
With that, Su Xie waved to the servant who delivered the medicine, signalling for him to leave, and then handed the pill over to Zhao Mingzhe. Following that, Su Xie turned to Zhao Shenglong and Wu Chenzi and said:
“You two go down first, I have a few words to say to Ming Zhe in private!”
Once Su Xie started to call himself “Gu” in front of a few people, whether it was Wu Chenzi or Zhao Shenglong, they all knew that at this time, Su Xie could not tolerate anyone going against him!
“Yes.” The two of them left the room.
There were only two people left. As Zhao Mingzhe held the medicinal pellet in his hand, his expression became somewhat twisted.
“From your reaction, you should have already known that there’s something wrong with this pill, right?” Since that’s the case, why did you keep using this pill, causing you to turn into your current emaciated state? “Tell me, whoever concocted this pill for you, must die. Even those who are related to the concocting of the pills must die!”
As he spoke, killing intent surged from Zhao Mingzhe’s body.
Su Xie was quiet for a moment, then sighed.
“Actually, this pill is the reason why I haven’t visited you even though you were in closed door cultivation for four years.” “With your identity as an apothecary, you should be able to tell that there is a herb within this pill that can alleviate pain but is addictive. The reason why I’ve turned into this ghastly state is mostly because of the Awakening Grass!”
When he had first met Su Xie, Zhao Mingzhe had felt that Su Xie’s appearance was similar to that of a poison cultivator from his previous life.
When the attendant came over with a porcelain bottle, Zhao Mingzhe immediately separated the bottle from the other one.
Now that he saw the pill, Zhao Mingzhe was completely sure that although the Wangyou Grass that Su Xie spoke of was slightly different from the poisons and products made from opium in his previous life, it was basically around the same in terms of effects.
“Since you understand everything, why are you still taking this pill?” Once infected, it was even harder than ascending to heaven to quit than to forget about it! If the person who gave you the grass to forget wanted to control you, you would find that you couldn’t refuse him. At that time, you wouldn’t even be the same you as him, but instead would become worse than a dog! I will go investigate this matter now. Once I find out who did it, I will definitely kill it! ”
Su Xie was silent for a while, then said:
“The word ‘heart’ is often used to describe someone!”
Zhao Mingzhe was still a little unable to understand the meaning behind Su Xie’s words, but then he heard sounds coming from the outside. Following that, a graceful and noble Hua Banyuan walked over to him.
“Great King, in the end, you and the Loyal King are brothers who fear each other. After so long, you still haven’t spoken your mind yet!”
Su Xie laughed, and turned to the side, putting Zhao Mingzhe’s hand that was holding the pill behind him.
“I have not seen you for more than four years, there are always some things I need to say. Wang Zhong, did something happen here? ”
After Hua Banyuan bowed to Su Xie, she frowned.
“Your Majesty, a guard came to report just now. The attendant who sent you the pill just now suddenly fell into a flower pond and drowned on the way back. This matter …”
“The life and death of an attendant is not a big deal. If I were to return alone and send someone to investigate, the queen would not have to trouble herself.”
While Su Xie and Hua Banyuan were talking, a light suddenly flashed across Zhao Mingzhe’s mind. He understood that Su Xie’s “heart is in his throat” phrase, but it was a word that he could not bear.
Obviously, Su Xie was hinting that Zhao Mingzhe should endure the matter of the Worryfree Grass.
Zhao Mingzhe looked at the graceful and magnanimous Hua Banyuan in front of him, and thought back to the attendant who had sent him the medicinal pellets. However, the moment he had left, he had mysteriously died in the flower pond.
Could it be that there was some sort of conspiracy?
Suddenly, an extremely bold idea appeared in Zhao Mingzhe’s mind. Could it be, the person who infected Su Xie with the Worryfree Grass was the Hua Banyuan in front of him?
