low-key is king

Chapter 1341 Dilemma

"what!"

A scream resounded throughout the living hall, startling all the guests from the prime minister's residence to take a step back again.

They were all afraid that Guan Yin would suddenly go crazy, what if they were infected with that kind of poison?
Seeing that the pitch-black poison had spread to Guan Yin's upper arm, and seeing him in such pain, everyone had reason to believe that the poison was powerful.

At this moment, the audience on the sidelines had a special mood. From their disbelief just now, they now selectively believed Lu Yuan's words, thinking that it was really a highly poisonous substance stolen from the secret room of the ancestral hall.

If this is the case, then the antidote to this kind of poison can only be found in Master Xiang.

As Xu Jian's second adoptive son, will Guan Yin reveal some secrets of his adoptive father when his life is at stake?

"Guan Yin, you only have three breaths at most, and when the poison is over your shoulders, even Da Luo Jinxian can't save you!"

Lu Yuan's words kept coming, making all the onlookers have a guess.

Looking at the speed at which the poison spread, they believed that Lu Yuan was not alarmist, but a real fact.

Lu Xun's ability to confuse people's hearts is indeed extraordinary. At such a critical moment of life and death, there is no time for Guan Yin to think too much. He only wants to save his own life when he comes and goes now.

"Mutually……"

chap!
However, just as Guan Yin uttered a word, a cold light suddenly appeared, and then everyone saw an extremely tragic scene.

I saw the cold light flashing past, and it cut off Guan Yin's right arm from the shoulder down. The one who made the move this time was naturally Xu Jian, the adoptive father.

"what!"

The shrill screams came out again. The pain of breaking an arm at this moment is different from the pain of poisonous body phagocytosis just now.

Guan Yin never thought of such a result, and he couldn't accept it for a while.

It has to be said that Xu Jian was quite decisive. In order to avoid some of his secrets being exposed, he couldn't care less.

Only in this way can we temporarily keep our secrets.

Once Guan Yin was asked to ask Situ Xian, and Situ Xian really gave the antidote to relieve Guan Yin's poison, Xu Jian would not be able to speak clearly even if he had a hundred mouths.

Because these two can connect the things in the hall where he lives with the things in the secret room of the ancestral hall.

As for the entire Right Prime Minister's Mansion, except for Situ Xian, no one else could enter the secret room of the ancestral hall.

In this way, there will be no more than 300 taels of silver here!

At this moment, Xu Jian's shot will certainly make people suspicious, but it is much better than being directly caught by someone.

He could also justify that he was the poison of the impatient adopted son, which was why he had no choice but to make such a bad move.

Under the gaze of everyone, Guan Yin's right arm, which was chopped off by Xu Jian, was already covered in pitch black, and after a while, it was corroded to the point where only a pitch black bone remained.

"This poison is so terrifying!"

Seeing this scene, many people took a step back subconsciously, for fear of being contaminated by the poison, and some strange thoughts came to their hearts.

Xu Jian didn't even ask Master Xiang if he had an antidote, so he cut off Guan Yin's right arm in such a hurry, was he trying to cover up something?

Although Guan Yin's life was saved in this way, from another point of view, it is a bit suspicious.

From this, it can be seen that the affection of foster father and foster son is like paper. If these foster sons endanger his own interests, I am afraid that Xu Jian will abandon them without hesitation.

That Xu Jian's first adoptive son looked at his adoptive father with some resentment at this moment.

From Guan Yin, he seemed to see his own future fate.

"Xu Gong, why are you in such a hurry?"

A faint voice came from Lu Yuan. There was a faint smile on his face, which was in stark contrast to Xu Jian's gloomy face.

At this moment, Xu Jian's mood is naturally extremely bad. He feels that some things have been out of control, and all of this is just because of a small piece of silk thread.

Especially at this moment, the piece of silk thread was not destroyed by Guan Yin, but was thrown out by him, and it was still lying on the ground there, which made Xu Jian feel like a light on his back.

But all the things were actually caused by that guy named Lu Yuan. At this moment, Xu Jian really hated Lu Yuan to the bone.

If possible, he would really like to dismantle it.

It's a pity that Xu Jian didn't intend to reveal his true details, so he could only choose to be patient temporarily.

"After all, Guan Yin is Xu Gong's adoptive son. Now that his right arm has been chopped off, his strength may be greatly reduced!"

Lu Xun shook his head, and heard him tell a fact first, and then said: "Actually, there is no need to be so troublesome. As long as Xiangye gives the antidote, can Guan Yin's arm be saved?"

"Lu Yuan, you are talking nonsense. The poison that Guan Yin is suffering from has nothing to do with Xiangye. The adoptive father is just afraid that Guan Yin will be killed by having long nights and dreams!"

Even though there were many strange thoughts in his mind, seeing his adoptive father being run over by others, Qu Yao still subconsciously defended himself, because he knew the serious consequences of his adoptive father being regarded as a traitor.

Xu Jian was quite satisfied with Qu Yao's defense.

This is to say that the poison Guan Yin was infected with was not brought out from the secret room, and it cleared up Xu Jian's suspicion of stealing the marshal's talisman.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Lu Xun raised his head, looked at Qu Yao, who had reached the seventh realm, pointed at a certain place, and said, "If you don't believe me, then try it, I guess the antidote in Xiangye's hand is It will definitely cure you of the poison!"

The next few words made Qu Yao's face turn blue and then pale. After seeing Guan Yin's miserable state just now, how could he dare to test the poison himself?

Qu Yao's breakthrough to the Seven Realms was much earlier than Guan Yin's, and his strength was also higher than Guan Yin's, but that's just a relative statement.

In fact, there is no substantial difference in cultivation base between the two.

Qu Yao didn't want to lose an arm because of his anger.

What's more, if Xiangye's antidote is really effective, then his adoptive father will not be far from death.

"Why, don't you dare? Then shut up!"

Lu Xun took a look at Qu Yao, and let out a sneer, which made the brazen guy lower his head, and never dared to look at the black-clothed boy again.

The other ministers and guests also turned their gazes back to the boy in black.

They all wanted to see, after Guan Yin's right arm was broken, what else could the young man do as evidence?

Anyway, after the incident of Guan Yin, whether it was Situ Xian, the Right Prime Minister, or those guest ministers from the prime minister's house, they all stayed away from Xu Jian, and their mentality also changed a lot.

This is from the absolute trust in Xu Jian before, to a rift in trust. It seems that the chief guest of the right minister's mansion is no longer as open and aboveboard as before.

"Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, let alone find another person to test the poison!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Xun's voice sounded, and then he pointed to Guan Yin who was moaning in pain on the ground, and the words in his mouth meant something.

"I want to ask Mr. Xu, you don't really think that cutting off his right arm will make the poison in his body disappear?"

Lu Xun's voice continued to be heard, and when the words reached everyone's ears, their expressions changed again and again, and at the same time, they focused their eyes on Guan Yin for the first time.

"This……"

Looking at it this way, these ministers and ministers who were at least in the seventh realm suddenly discovered another fact, and they all took a breath of cold air at the moment.

I saw that Guan Yin's right shoulder where the broken arm was still bleeding continuously, and in the dark red blood, there was a trace of pitch black mixed in, and it became more and more intense.

"Is this... the residual poison?"

Some people with keen minds have already guessed a possibility.

They all looked at Xu Jian with a strange look, secretly thinking that this one made such a decisive move, but he still couldn't kill the weeds.

It was obvious that Xu Jian's attack was a bit late just now. When he cut off Guan Yin's right arm shoulder-to-shoulder, the poison had already passed Guan Yin's right shoulder.

At this moment Xu Jian's complexion was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he felt that the situation was really out of control.

Today's matter may not develop in the direction I thought.

But Xu Jian felt that he had done his best, and the sword just now was extremely precise, but why did Guan Yin still have that kind of poison in his body?
Seeing the poison flowing out from Guan Yin's shoulder, Xu Jian fell into a kind of extreme entanglement.

Now it is no longer possible for him to let Guan Yin break his arm to survive, it is impossible to cut off his whole body, right?
In that case, it is absolutely impossible for Guan Yin to live again. As a adoptive father, if Xu Jian really did this, what is the difference between admitting that he killed and silenced him?
"Guan Yin, now your adoptive father can't be counted on, so you better ask the Prime Minister again!"

Lu Yuan's soft voice pierced his ears like a magic voice, Guan Yin, who was dying at the moment, couldn't think of any way at all.

The former's words are undoubtedly his last way to save his life.

People who are about to die cherish their own life the most. Guan Yin is still young, so he doesn't want to die inexplicably like this.

But now it seems that Lu Yuan is right, his adoptive father is no longer able to detoxify him.

Even in the previous scene, Xu Jian only cut off one of his arms.

Obviously he could go to the Prime Minister to detoxify him, and he could save his life and arms, why did he make such a fuss?
"Master Xiang, please... please save my life!"

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Guan Yin, who knew he couldn't delay any longer, suddenly burst into a burst of strength from nowhere, and while speaking, slowly crawled towards the feet of the right minister Situ Xian.

Seeing this scene, Xu Jian fell into a tangle for a moment.

Do you want to kill people at this time, or wait for Situ Xian to give the antidote, and then turn your face after the poison on Guan Yin's body is truly cured?

In fact, this choice was not difficult at all, and Xu Jian had already made a decision the next moment.

laugh……
