Sky Dragon Rider

Baron Kingsley didn't stay for long. After waking up the Commander Langlin with a few insinuating words, he hurried away again as suddenly as he came, leaving the Commander deep in thought in his living room. .

What the Lord Baron said was both cryptic and hidden, even if it was heard by others, it would be difficult to catch it.

It was as if a weird start had suddenly started, not just Baron Kingsley, but the guests who had been visiting in the past few days said all kinds of but similar things to Langlin.

Although he didn't say it clearly, the intention of coming was ready to come out.

The usually high-spirited Commander Langlin suddenly seemed to be much older, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was full of sorrow. Now he is not worried about the future of his son Rambo, but himself. Even the commander of the city defense army is very likely In this big storm, not even the scum was left.

In the final analysis, there is only one purpose for the visits of various characters.

Stand in line!

The visitors not only represented the Second Prince, Third Prince, Fourth Prince, and Fifth Prince, but even vaguely hinted that they represented the Eldest Princess Modai, who had a transcendent status in the royal family, and the still young Seventh Princess Meiwei.

Of course, there are inevitably some people who are dedicated to burning cold stoves. Once they get the merit of support, the benefits they can get will definitely be beyond imagination.

It wasn't just the commander of the city defense army, Langlin, who was almost stepped through the threshold. The high-ranking officials and dignitaries suddenly moved and connected with each other without warning, and the salon reception held under various names would immediately enrich the nightlife of the upper class. .

However, some people who remained calm or simply made up their minds to stay out of it had already noticed that a terrible storm was brewing in the city of Delan.

This storm may sweep across the entire country, or even the entire empire. No one knows which little people will take advantage of the situation and become the upstarts of the empire after this storm, and which old wealthy families will suffer a crushing defeat and their families will be destroyed.

There are naturally great opportunities hidden in the crisis. Wealth and wealth are sought in danger. There are very few people who are really willing to miss the opportunity. Most people will choose to take a chance.

Under the four ministers of civil affairs, legal affairs, military affairs, and finance who originally formed separate lines, the officials of their own line were inevitably involved in this storm, among which the civil affairs and the legal line, which had always been neutral in the court, were particularly important. active.

In the latter case, because the Minister of Justice did not strictly restrain his officials, there were many factions among the officials in the legal department, no matter whether the prince or the princess, everyone supported whoever they were.

Adelaide, the Minister of Military and Political Affairs, who is also aware of the coming storm, has already made some preparations. He not only sent urgent letters to the major military regions, requesting the cancellation of all holidays, purge armaments, guard the border, and strictly prohibit leaving the station without authorization, in case Xiao Xiao The younger generation took advantage of the chaos and ordered the officials in the military department to prohibit all private communication and not to participate in receptions and salons under any excuse, otherwise they will be dismissed on the spot and severely punished.

After mercilessly killing more than a dozen military officials, the military and political officials were all terrified. Lord Adelaide, the military and political minister in charge of the empire/military, really did what he said.

In a small residential compound in Delan City, the air is filled with a little food aroma that comes from nowhere.

"A step too late!"

Li Mubing, who was squatting on the ground, shook his head at his sister, and stood up slowly. Several royal guards in full armor stood nearby, completely sealing off this ordinary small courtyard.

At her feet, lay a little boy about six or seven years old, with a happy smile on his face, but his body was already cold and lifeless.

His face was pale, with black air faintly emerging, even the veins of the blood vessels were also strangely black, the poison was violently shocking, and even the expression of his life was preserved.

In the room, an old man and an old woman looked at the lying position of the little boy with smiles, but they also lost the breath of life.

The poison broke out very suddenly, taking their lives in an instant.

This is one of the important suspects suspected by the sisters of the Li family. The house of a court servant in the city of Silan lived in the only son left by a pair of old parents and his wife who died after dystocia. God takes life.

"There is a [-]% chance that the surname is poisoning!"

Li Muxin frowned, sniffing lightly the strange scent left in the air, vaguely like the smell of food, it was easy to be ignored by others, but it was hard to escape her heart.

She took out a mask from her satchel and distributed it to her sister and other guards. The royal guards who didn't get it immediately withdrew from the courtyard.

"Start on-site testing first! See if there is anything suspicious."

Li Mubing waved to a guard outside the courtyard gate, and said, "Get the outer cages off the carriage and put them outside the courtyard gate! Then move those small cages down."

A large iron cage that squeaked from inside was thrown outside the courtyard door, and the thick linen covering it was uncovered, and it was actually filled with many crowded mice.

The royal guard who brought the cage in had an obviously unattractive expression on his face, as if he was afraid of avoiding it, he put down the cage and turned away with a livid face.

However, Li Mubing took out a long iron tongs indifferently, without picking a mouse, and picked a mouse out of the big cage at random, regardless of the little thing wriggling its body and struggling desperately on its four short legs. It was stuffed directly into a small iron cage with a number.

Then more mice were caught out, locked in a small room with a door number like a pattern, and thrown on the ground casually.

I couldn't find the small white mice for the experiment, so I had to spend some copper coins to ask the civilians to help catch them, and then rinse all these dirty and smelly small animals with the disinfectant they prepared, which was barely usable.

However, if they take a small bite, the consequences of the saliva full of various bacteria and viruses invading the wound will not be much lighter than direct poisoning, and perhaps even antibiotics can only stare blankly.

The royal guards wearing masks in the house found all the food from the house, including vegetables, meat, fruits, etc., and each of them was specially fed to a mouse.

Although this drug testing method is primitive and simple, it is very effective.

The Death Squad of Rats came to a conclusion soon. Suddenly there was no movement in the cages of the three rats. The three rats kept in their original rigid movements or crawled or collapsed, and died.

"Cages No. 18, No. 22, and No. 32 died. They should be bread, juice and fruit. The latter two actually belong to the same kind."

Li Mubing gestured to his sister while looking at the record list in his hand.

Li Muxin seemed to be intending to confirm his own speculation, and said to his sister: "Pick three mice, put them outside the yard, and then feed them bread and fruits!"

"what?"

This time a strange thing happened, my sister was surprised to see that the three mice that ate the same food as before were still crawling around in the cage full of energy.

According to the previous time, he should have died of poisoning long ago.

Is it?

Suddenly remembered the mask she was wearing, and at this moment, her sister Li Muxin seemed to know what she was thinking, and nodded at her.

There was clearly something wrong with the scent of food that permeated the air.

"Food and aroma are mixed to form a poisonous surname. If they are separated separately, the two will not have any dangerous surnames. It is a very cunning design."

Li Muxin debunked the mystery with one word, and all the royal guards who heard this sentence looked at the twin sisters in astonishment, and were shocked for a moment.

The cunning fox never thought that he would meet the most experienced hunter.

"Most of the fruits are not self-grown, so the noodles you eat? Well, very fine and high-quality flour, only the nobles can afford it. There is no doubt that someone sold these two things to this family."

Li Mubing's reasoning was quickly confirmed by the neighbors nearby, and he also drew a portrait of the "two hundred and five" peddler by the way.

Hearing that the food poisoned a family, the neighbor who thought he had bought some bread and fruit at the same time, was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he even scratched his own throat desperately, vomiting .

"Murder and kill!"

After all the evidence was gathered together, the two sisters looked at each other, and said in unison, there was no longer any doubt in their hearts.

"Master Xin, Lord Bing, something happened to your family!"

Waiting for the city defense army to take over the murder case, the sisters of the Li family who were collecting evidence on the other side hadn't packed up their things yet, and a royal guard came to report in a hurry.

"what?"

The twin sisters, who had always kept their expressions on the top of Mount Tai, turned pale with fright, and there was Qi Fei at home.

Due to the care of the royal family and the military, the main house and alchemy research center at No. 78 Nuoxiang Street have been guarded and protected by the imperial guards, not even a fly can get in, but unexpectedly, despite this level of security, accidents still happen .

Li Muxin also lost her composure in the past. As a compatriot from the earth, nothing can happen to her. She forced herself to calm down, and her voice was still trembling slightly: "What happened?"

"Fei Alchemist and other alchemist masters suddenly fell into a coma, and so did the maids!"

The royal guard who came to inform immediately explained the situation.

Things became very strange, but it also meant that the two sisters' ability to solve the case made the mastermind who secretly cast a spell on His Majesty Cyril feel afraid.

Li Muxin frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "There should be no danger to life, it's a warning!"

"It's very possible, but this also proves that we are looking in the right direction, and the other party is getting nervous!"

Li Mubing was still worried, and continued, "Go back and see, if they fall under the same spell as His Majesty Cyril, we will be in trouble!"

The trouble she was referring to was that the number of cephalosporin antibiotics in her hands was limited, and it would be no problem to heal an emperor, but if those alchemists were also caught in the same trick, the number of pills would obviously not be enough.

But they couldn't afford to lose any alchemist, especially Qi Fei.
