There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 1082 The situation is serious

Su Xian stared at the silver needle, especially the shiny black tip.

With his eyebrows furrowed and deep in thought, he still found it difficult to accept. How could the food cooked by Nalan Jie himself be poisonous?

What exactly does Nalanjie want to do?
In other words, what happened during the cooking process?
unknown……

"Hahahahaha!"

Zhou Wei's laughter brought him back to reality.

Looking up, he saw Zhou Wei holding a whole roast chicken in one hand and a fat chicken leg in the other. His face was filled with pride and he smiled cheerfully:
"Senior brother, facts speak louder than words. The food and wine on this table are poisonous, and Nalanjie personally supervised the cooking of these food and wine. Doesn't that explain the problem?"

Su Xian glanced at the fat chicken leg in his hand and said with a calm expression: "Junior brother, why are you so happy? You just ate the whole fat chicken leg. You have been poisoned!"

Zhou Wei was so happy that he was about to eat the chicken drumstick in his hand to celebrate. After hearing Su Xian's words, he suddenly reacted, screamed "Ouch" and hurriedly dropped the roast chicken in his hand, as if avoiding a snake and scorpion.

The smile on his face disappeared in an instant and turned pale. He looked at Su Xian: "No, I'm poisoned!"

"Don't worry, I'll take your pulse." Su Xian stood up and walked to Zhou Wei's side.

"Okay." Zhou Wei immediately stretched out his wrist and gently placed it on the table.

Su Xian put two fingers on Zhou Wei's pulse, examined it for a while, and said doubtfully: "It's strange, there is no problem. There is no abnormality in the pulse."

Zhou Wei suddenly thought of a question:
"I remember my senior brother once said that Tibet has recently invented a colorless and odorless poison. This poison is colorless and odorless, so ordinary silver needles and ordinary pulse diagnosis should not be able to detect it."

Su Xian frowned and returned to his seat to sit down.

He thought carefully, picked up the package of special silver needles, took out one, rolled up his long sleeves, and pierced the thick part of his arm with a needle.

"Senior brother?" Zhou Wei looked surprised.

"Young Master?" Yang Zhilan came over in a hurry.

Su Xian's expression was not messy at all. Regardless of the needle still stuck in his arm, he took out another one from the cloth bag and handed it to Yang Zhilan: "Zhilan, you should also test it."

Yang Zhilan suddenly realized, took the silver needle and pierced her arm directly through her clothes.

Zhou Wei finally understood and couldn't help but show a hint of pride: "Let me just say that Emperor Liao is the mastermind behind the scenes. The facts are before our eyes. Senior brother, should you believe me?"

Su Xian glanced at him but didn't respond.

From the inside, he still didn't want to believe that Nalanjie would change.

The reason why I use a silver needle to test myself is to determine a result.

Because at the current table of food and wine, Su Xian and Yang Zhilan had not touched their chopsticks, but they had already eaten Liao food during lunch, and they were eating at the same table as Nalan Jie.

If the silver needle turns black...the consequences will be disastrous!
After a while, Su Xian and Yang Zhilan pulled out the silver needles at the same time.

The three looked intently.

Immediately, Su Xian's expression changed drastically; Zhou Wei frowned but also had a hint of pride in his eyes; Yang Zhilan's expression was expressionless, but she silently raised her vigilance.

This is because the tips of the silver needles in the hands of Su Xian and Yang Zhilan have turned black!
This shows what?
It means that Su Xian and Yang Zhilan have also been poisoned!

"How could this be? It shouldn't be!"

Su Xian couldn't believe his eyes. The silver needle turned black, he was poisoned, and Nalanjie really poisoned him!
This time it’s really big.

The situation is serious!
How serious is it?It includes two aspects. First, Su Xian, Yang Zhilan, and Zhou Wei were all poisoned by an unknown poison. On the surface, there seemed to be nothing abnormal, but who knew what would happen next?
The unknown is the most terrifying.

The second is the situation between Liang and Liao.

A few days ago, when Su Xian planned to go north as an envoy to the Liao Kingdom, he had a "tourist" mentality and did not think that the diplomatic relations between the two countries would deteriorate as a result.

Even during the trip, Su Xian didn't worry much when he learned that someone was plotting against Daliang. He just wanted to find out the bad guy in question.

But he never expected that the mastermind behind the plot to harm Daliang was actually the new Liao Emperor Nalanjie!
If Nalanjie rebels, it will really be over!
The hard-won peace between Liang and Liao is completely over!
Su Xian's hard work and efforts will also be in vain!
Suddenly, he thought of a question: "If Nalanjie is indeed the mastermind behind the scenes, why did he eat at the same table with us during lunch? Isn't he also poisoned?"

Zhou Wei's mind was particularly bright tonight, and he immediately replied: "Maybe he took the antidote after meals and ate at the same table with us just to numb us."

Su Xian paused. This explanation made sense. He didn't use the silver needle to test the poison during lunch because Nalan Jie was eating at the same table as them.

According to common sense, how can anyone poison himself?

Su Xian then frowned and fell into deep thought, with a gloomy expression on his face... If Nalanjie was really the mastermind behind this, there would be many issues to consider.

Zhou Wei was silent for a while, looked solemn, and lowered his voice and suggested: "Brother, the Liao Emperor has changed. If we stay here, it is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. We should plan a way out as soon as possible."

Su Xian took a few deep breaths.

The impetuous mood slowly calmed down.

There must be no chaos at this time!
If you lose your perspective, you may create problems even if there are no problems.

After all, Su Xian has experienced many major events, his mentality is already stable, and his nerves are relatively strong. When he just came to the conclusion that "Nalan Jie is the mastermind behind the scenes," he was indeed a little panicked.

Because the involvement is really too big.

But now he had calmed down and collected himself. He looked at Zhou Wei and Yang Zhilan and said, "Just now, I put everything together and thought about it. The situation in Liao Kingdom is not that simple."

"Our guess alone cannot confirm that there is something wrong with Emperor Liao." Su Xian looked at Zhou Wei: "Junior brother, your guess is indeed quite reasonable, but the evidence is not sufficient, so we cannot act rashly."

"Then what should we do now?" Zhou Wei asked.

Su Xian did not answer directly. He put his hands behind his back and walked to the closed door and window. He thought for a while and then turned to look at Zhou Wei and Yang Zhilan:

"First of all, we can be sure that the poison we were poisoned by is probably a newly invented poison by Dafan. It is colorless and odorless. There will be no discomfort after being poisoned."

"This shows that we still have time to find out the truth!"

Su Xian walked to the bed, took out a pamphlet from a bag, and put it on the table: "Let's make two preparations. First, find an antidote as soon as possible."

"Second, Zhilan will go out and conduct a secret investigation overnight. Let's start from the imperial dining room. The clues we have are limited now. Whatever we find will be what we find."

Yang Zhilan hesitated, looked at Su Xian and said, "But..."

Su Xian understood her worries and said with a smile: "Don't worry about me, Zhou Wei is still here, so you can go with peace of mind. In terms of overt and covert inspections, ten Zhou Wei combined can't compare to you."

Zhou Wei stepped forward at the right time, patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Miss Yang, as long as I'm here, senior brother will be fine."
