Fei Qing led Chu Huan and his party to a mansion. Chu Huan saw that the mansion was very grand, with a high-walled compound, guards in front of the gate, and two stone unicorns squatting in front of the gate, very mighty, but Chu Huan fell. It can also be seen that the two stone unicorns were obviously released recently, and their foundations are still new. It is not the stone unicorns that were squatting here before.

Fei Qing seemed quite powerful, but he was able to enter the palace without hindrance.

Entering the palace, one can only see flying colors and gilt, brilliant and brilliant, Qionglouyuge, secluded paths, unusually beautiful and luxurious, and Chu Huan can also see that these are obviously decorated not long ago, even the ground is paved. The stone slabs are also very particular.

Although Fei Qing arrested Chu Huan and the others, he was not too negligent, except that he handed over the weapons of Chu Huan and the others without binding them, and walked through two courtyards before entering an arched door, which was indeed full of flowers. , full of greenery, surrounded by exotic flowers and plants, fragrant and refreshing.

If it was another time, Chu Huan might really have taken a closer look at it, but at this time, he didn't have that kind of thought, and only thought about what kind of medicine was sold in Xu Chang's gourd.

In his heart, he had already made up his mind, if Xu Chang really wanted to attack someone like himself, then he had to be patient first, and only then would he have a chance when he saw Xu Chang. Although he didn't know much about Xu Chang, he was confident that with his martial arts, As a last resort, a thief comes to capture the king first, and grab Xu Chang, so that everyone can escape safely.

Wherever he passed, every few steps, there were heavily armed soldiers. Xu Chang obviously took his own safety very seriously, and he was heavily guarded both inside and outside the palace.

After seeing the blooming and green yard, Chu Huan frowned. He saw several guillotines placed on the open space not far in front of him. The guillotines were all pulled away. At this time, the sky had already darkened. , standing in front of a circle of soldiers, with one hand on the saber at the waist, and the other hand holding the torch, illuminating the place as bright as day, and the light of the fire shone on the guillotine knife, flickering with icy cold light.

Chu Huan and Ximen Yi couldn't help but looked at each other, they were all surprised. Looking at the situation, Xu Chang seemed to have really murderous intentions.

"King Ren, Ximen Yi and his entourage are all brought here, without missing a single one." Fei Qing stepped forward, and cupped his hands at a figure. With a jade belt tied between them, his hands behind his back, his back to this side, Chu Huan heard Fei Qing speak, and knew that this person should be Ren Wang Xu Chang.

"Bring it up!" Fei Qing waved his hand, and all the soldiers immediately raised their guns to force Chu Huan and others to come forward. Fei Qing said coldly, "You all stand still. If you don't want to die, don't move around."

Chu Huan and Ximen Yi looked at each other, and a group of six people stood in a line, Ximen Yi and Chu Huan stood in the middle, Ma Zheng and others were separated on the left and right, and Jinling Bing stood behind Chu Huan and the others, spears Aiming at everyone's backs, but only a few inches away.

"My king heard that you are here, so I will treat you properly without any neglect." A deep voice came over, it was the voice of the man with the golden crown, "The king of Chu opposed Qin, and this king treats him very well." I admire him, so I am very polite to his envoys, no matter what the king of Chu sends you to do, whether it succeeds or not, this king will not neglect you."

Ximen Yi said indifferently: "Since this is the case, I don't know what King Ren means?"

"I don't have many brothers and sisters." Ren Wang Xu Chang ignored Ximen Yi's words, "The only thing left now is only one younger brother. We came from poverty, and our parents left early. All along, the younger brother and the king We are dependent on each other, we join the army together, fight bloody battles on the battlefield, strive for military merit, and want to stand out...!"

Ximen Yi and the others were even more surprised. They didn't know why Xu Chang talked about homework.

"Even on the battlefield, my younger brother also followed me. Fortunately, he saved my life several times on the battlefield." Xu Chang said slowly: "So this king has already made an oath, not only I want to give Xu Yu glory and wealth, and I want to keep him safe and sound." Having said that, the man slowly turned around, and by the light of the fire, Chu Huan and the others could clearly see that this man was in his 40s, and his appearance was the same as before. The Liang Guogong Xu Yu I saw was seven or eight points similar, but the edges and corners of this person's face were more prominent, as hard and cold as a knife cut, showing this person's extremely tenacious will, and those eyes were even more black as Mo, icy cold to the bone, when he looked over, his gaze was as sharp as a blade.

Seeing this person's appearance, Chu Huan applauded a little bit. Judging from his appearance, this Xu Chang really has the temperament of a strong man from the Northern Kingdom.

"Brother Renwang is deeply affectionate, which is admirable." Seeing Xu Chang's indifferent expression, Ximen Yi faintly felt that something was wrong, but he still cupped his hands and said, "At dusk, I also met Liang Guogong, who said that Renwang was busy with his affairs. , I can’t meet you right away, I thought it would take another day or two to see King Ren, but I didn’t expect King Ren to summon him tonight.” He glanced at all the soldiers surrounding him, and then swept across the guillotines, and said with a faint smile : "It's just that I really don't understand, what does Nioh mean?"

"Bring it up!" Xu Chang didn't answer, but faced Ximen Yi with his eyes like knives and his hands behind his back, he said coldly.

Soon, he saw four burly soldiers coming over carrying a stretcher. Chu Huan took a closer look, his heart sank, his pupils shrank slightly, but he had already seen that on the stretcher was Liang Guogong. Xu Yu.

As if it was intentional, four soldiers walked past Chu Huan and the others carrying a stretcher. Ximen Yi, Ma Zheng and the others also recognized it at this time, and they all changed their colors.

Chu Huan saw that Xu Yu was still wearing the outfit that he went to the posthouse today, and he didn't even take off the ring on his hand, but he was lying on the stretcher at the moment, motionless, his face and skin were black, although Xu Yu's skin He was already a little dark, but now his skin was like charcoal ink. Not only was his skin darkened, his face was swollen, and there was even blood stains at the corners of his mouth.

Chu Huan gasped, he could tell that Xu Yu was obviously dead, and it looked like he was poisoned to death.

Xu Yu only went to the post house at dusk, and it has been less than two hours since we parted. Chu Huan never imagined that in this short period of time, Xu Yu had already become a dead person.

At this time, he had already understood that Xu Chang's big move, sending troops to arrest him and his group, and putting down the terrifying posture in front of him were obviously related to Xu Yu's death.

Xu Chang's blade-like gaze swept across Chu Huan and the others, and finally landed on Ximen Yi, asking, "Ximen Yi, do you recognize the person on the stretcher?"

"I recognize it." Ximen Yi said solemnly, "This is Liang Guogong, the younger brother of King Ren. Less than two hours ago, I had tea with him at the posthouse."

Xu Chang smiled coldly, and said in a cold voice, "Then you know that before he left the posthouse, he fell off his horse and died of poisoning before he walked a street."

"This...!" Ximen Yi shook his head.

Xu Chang said again: "Then do you know that before he died, he only said four words...!"

"Four words?" Ximen Yi asked, "Please teach me, King Ren!"

"Tea is poisonous!" Xu Wei sighed, but stepped forward, stood beside the stretcher, stretched out a hand, stroked Xu Yu's hair lightly for a moment, then raised his head and said, "You just said, in the In the post house, you and Xu Yu drink tea together?"

"Exactly."

Xu Chang sneered and said, "Tang Qinghe!"

Immediately, a person came out from the side, and knelt down on the ground: "The next official is here!"

Chu Huan and the others recognized it, but this Tang Qinghe was the ceremonial official who received the envoy. When Liang Guogong went to the posthouse, Tang Qinghe was also by his side.

"What happened at that time, you tell the truth." Xu Chang said lightly.

Tang Qinghe said loudly: "Reporting to King Ren, the Duke and Ximen Yi were indeed discussing matters in the hall. The Duke drank tea first and asked Ximen Yi if the tea here did not suit his taste."

"What did Ximen Yi say?"

Before Tang Qinghe could speak, Ximen Yi sighed: "I said that Jinling tea is famous all over the world. After arriving in Jinling, I drank a lot...!"

"Then do you have tea?"

Ximen Yi shook his head and said, "There's too much tea in my stomach, so it's hard to drink more. Drinking tea is three points good. If you drink too much, it's not tea, but a cow's drink."

"What a drink." Xu Chang laughed, but the laughter was as piercing as a knife's edge, "Ximen Yi is a good man who works like a good man, and Xu Yu was poisoned by drinking tea in the posthouse. How do you explain it?"

Ximen Yi shook his head and said, "I can't explain it, and this matter has nothing to do with us."

Xu Chang snorted coldly and said, "You mean, Xu Yu drank tea with you, and you didn't even touch a drop of water, but Xu Yu died of poisoning. It has nothing to do with you?"

"That's what I mean." Ximen Yi nodded and said: "King Ren should know that although we are in the post house, the post house is the site of King Ren, and the waiters in the post house are all arranged by King Ren. , is a servant of the post house, and has not passed through our hands, not to mention that we will never harm Liang Guogong. Even if we really have such evil intentions, how can we have the opportunity to poison? King Ren should start investigating from the servants in the post house .”

"Well said." Xu Chang clapped his hands and said: "Since Chu Huan sent you to be an envoy, your eloquence is naturally excellent, but even if you have iron teeth and copper teeth, I will convince you. To do things, convince people with reasoning, before sending you to the guillotine, you will naturally have nothing to say." Shen Sheng said: "Come on!"

A soldier came forward with a tray, and there were two teacups inside. Xu Chang stretched out his hand, picked up the two teacups one after another, and drank half a cup of the tea in each teacup.

At this moment, they heard a cry from not far away: "Let go of me, let me go...!" Chu Huan and others followed the prestige, and saw not far away, two soldiers were holding A man in a white prison uniform came over. The man was unkempt, and seemed to be a prisoner who had been escorted out of a prison.

Xu Chang put the two cups of tea on the tray and waved his hand, and the soldier walked towards the prisoner with the tray.

"Drink these two cups of tea, and I will set you free." The soldier holding the tray looked at the prisoner coldly. The prisoner saw Xu Chang drink two cups of tea just now, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly reached out and put the two cups of tea Pick it up and drink it in two gulps.

He put the teacup back on the tray, and said, "I...I drank it, you...you want to let me go...!"

The soldier nodded, and then the two soldiers withdrew their knives and shouted in a deep voice, "Get out of here."

The prisoner was overjoyed, without saying a word, he raised his legs and ran, but before he had run ten steps away, he suddenly fell to the ground, struggled and convulsed in pain, only for a moment, he was motionless.
