The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 138 The High Priest

Early the next morning, Gu Xinning brought a lot of gifts to the high priest's residence to meet the high priest.

This is the first time Gu Xinning has seen the high priest of Southern Xinjiang. The high priest is about 50 years old. He has the appearance of a child with white hair and a rosy complexion like a baby. There are almost no wrinkles on his face, even at the corners of his eyes, except for the whiteness of snow. In addition to the vicissitudes and experience revealed in his silver hair and eyes, there is no trace of oldness in the high priest's whole body.

Although the high priest is older than her master, Gu Xinning still sees the shadow of her master Mu Duhuang in the high priest, deep, restrained, aloof, and indifferent, as if she doesn't care about everything in this world.

The high priest received Gu Xinning very politely, and asked the servants to serve Gu Xinning tea, but during the communication, the high priest's eyes showed strange brilliance from time to time, Gu Xinning greeted the high priest, and after some politeness, everyone The priest bluntly asked Gu Xinning to tell the reason for this trip.

Seeing that the high priest is not an ordinary person, Gu Xinning knew that when facing this kind of person, the more oblique words he spoke, the less favorable impression he would have on you, so he said bluntly: "Qing'er knows that the high priest's Gu poison technique is unparalleled in the world, So when I came here, I wanted to ask the high priest to save a person."

The high priest frowned and asked: "Who does the chief want me to save? And why was he poisoned?" Who said that a few days ago, Gu Xinning recruited celebrities and strangers who knew Gu poison all over the southern Xinjiang, and there was a lot of movement, but everyone The priest has always lived in seclusion, doesn't care about world affairs, and has no interest in these things, so he doesn't know about Gu Xinning's seeking medical treatment across the country. Before that, it was also because some important people all went to the front line, and the country was empty. Only then did he reluctantly agree to cooperate with the remaining garrison and command the guard.When the two fighting parties stopped, the high priest had silently returned to his residence, ignoring the affairs of the world.

Hearing the high priest's question, Gu Xinning quickly replied: "This person is Ye Junyan, the lord of Zhaoxuan Kingdom. When the two countries were at war, the enemy and us were clearly distinguished. I asked Xiaotang to try to poison Ye Junyan in order to cause chaos. Its military spirit."

After hearing this, the high priest said calmly, "That means the poison was ordered by the chief."

Gu Xinning paused for a moment, nodded and said: "Exactly, but now the two countries have hoped to have a good relationship, if Ye Junyan suddenly died of the poison in southern Xinjiang at this time, then the conflict between the two countries will reopen. Even deeper than before, so I thought."

The high priest interrupted Gu Xinning and said: "However, since the person who poisoned was Mo Luotang, the chief should go to Mo Luotang to heal Ye Junyan's injury. Could it be that Mo Luotang dared to disobey the order of the chief? ?"

Gu Xinning sighed, shook her head and said, "Oh, I've looked for Mo Luotang, but he said he couldn't solve it either, and the horn used to cultivate these Gu has already been destroyed by him."

Hearing Gu Xining's words, the high priest couldn't help frowning and said, "Mo Luotang used the eclipse Gu? Ye Junyan was poisoned by this poison, so it's useless for the chief to come to me. Ruin, Ye Jun said that medicine and stones have no effect."

Hearing what the high priest said, Gu Xinning's anticipating heart fell into the ice valley in an instant, and she couldn't help but stand there for a while. After a while, Gu Xinning said again: "I remember someone once said that the high priest's attainments in Gu poison can be called No. 1 in the world. [-]. Qing'er believes that the high priest will definitely come up with other ways to save Ye Junyan, Qing'er implores the high priest to help the peace and stability of the two countries." Gu Xinning said, bending her knees, and she was already on her knees In front of the high priest, he bowed his head and begged.

The high priest didn't seem to expect that the other party would kneel down and beg him, and his expression was also raised. Then he stretched out his hand to support Gu Xinning and said, "Who are you? Where is Ying Keqing?"

Gu Xinning was so cold that he was asked by the high priest, his heart trembled, thinking how could the high priest know that he was not clear?Could it be that he showed a flaw somewhere and made a mistake?

In a flash, Gu Xinning quickly looked up at the high priest and said, "I don't understand what the high priest said, isn't Qing'er right in front of you, don't you recognize me?"

The high priest looked at Gu Xinning's face and shook his head and said: "You are not Ying Keqing, I have been suspicious of this since you came in, the real Ying Keqing is not in line with my personality, so I have always disliked me, unless When necessary, I never look for me, even if I look for it, I send someone to pass it on, and I never come to the door in person."

Gu Xinning hurriedly argued: "That's because the matter is urgent, I'm afraid I can send someone casually to explain clearly, and"

The high priest didn't let Gu Xining continue, she interrupted Gu Xining and said, "And Ying Keqing never called himself Qing'er in front of me, and always regarded himself as himself."

Gu Xinning said: "That's because." This time, when Gu Xinning said this, he stopped himself and didn't say any more, because he really didn't know what else to say. Too many explanations, no definite evidence, not enough to convince the other party, she just hated that she was too anxious, did not inquire about the relationship between Ying Keqing and the high priest in advance, and came up with a way, so she rushed to visit , and was seen by the other party.

The high priest glanced at Gu Xinning, who was about to speak but couldn't speak, and said, "The disguise on your face is indeed very subtle, making it hard to see the flaws, but you don't have the kind of bossy Ling who is so arrogant that I can use everything in the world." Domineering Qi, if she is really the chief, she will not come to beg me, but should send someone to order me!"

Just when Gu Xinning and my heart had sunk to the bottom, I suddenly heard a report from the guards outside: "Little Prince Mo Luotang, please see the High Priest for all important matters."

Since the tit-for-tat confrontation with Gu Xinning yesterday, Mo Luotang returned home and thought about it for a long time. After arranging some things, he was always worried about one thing, "If Gu Xinning finds the high priest and asks the high priest to help heal Ye Junyan, Things get complicated."

Although it is said that Mo Luotang's poison poisoning technique was personally taught by the high priest at the request of his father, but because Mo Luotang has been immersed in your schemes for many years, he has learned little, although the high priest did tell himself There is no medicine in the world to cure the over-eclipse Gu except for the horn used to cultivate the poison.But is there no cure, or the high priest doesn't want to teach himself how to solve it?Due to his suspicious nature, Mo Luotang once brooded over this.

If the high priest refused to teach her how to detoxify, and Gu Xinning found the high priest to detoxify Ye Junyan, the matter would be out of her control again.So after thinking hard all night, Mo Luotang decided to meet the high priest and ask the reason, so he came to the high priest early in the morning.

At this time, when he heard that Mo Luotang also came to see the high priest, Gu Xinning's heart was chilled. He knew the position and influence of the high priest in southern Xinjiang, and Ye Jinfeng said before that the high priest and Mo Luotang seemed to have a mentor and apprentice If the high priest is bewitched by Mo Luotang's words and stands with him, not only will he not be able to save Ye Junyan, but he may even find it difficult to gain a foothold.

Just when Gu Xinning was still in shock, she suddenly heard the high priest say: "Please come in."

Hearing this, Gu Xinning became even more nervous, with cold sweat pouring out of her forehead. When she was at a loss, the high priest took a look at Gu Xinning and said, "If it's inconvenient for you to see him, you can go to the back screen to avoid him for a while."

After hearing the words of the high priest, Gu Xinning seemed to have received an amnesty, and immediately thanked the high priest, and then hurried to the screen not far away to take shelter for a while.

Not long after, Mo Luotang came in, bowed to the high priest and said, "Student Mo Luotang has seen the high priest."

The high priest nodded, motioned him to sit down, and said, "The old man said long ago that the purpose of teaching you the art of poisonous Gu is just to fulfill the promise to your father. You don't have to call yourself a student when you come to see me."

Mo Luotang saluted respectfully and said: "A teacher for one day is a father for the rest of his life. If it weren't for the earnest teaching of the high priest, students would not be lucky enough to learn this skill."

The high priest said: "Okay, it's almost time to be polite, let me tell you the purpose of your visit today."

A certain Tang paused in embarrassment and said: "The high priest spoke as straightforwardly as before. The student came this time to ask about the eclipse Gu. Is there a solution?"

The high priest looked up at Mo Xiaotang and said, "If I remember correctly, when I taught you how to cultivate the Corrosion Gu, I have already told you that the Corrosion Gu can resist any medicine. Yes, there is absolutely no antidote in the world that can detoxify this poison, that's why I am admonishing you to never use this poison lightly unless it is absolutely necessary, so as not to cause great hatred."

Mo Luotang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and still said cautiously: "Students remember what the high priest said. The students just want to ask if there is still a glimmer of hope."

Mo Luotang's new colleague was overjoyed, but Gu Xinning, who was behind the screen, had changed from disappointment to despair at this time, and her lips and shoulders had begun to tremble slightly.

After hearing Mo Luotang's words, the high priest looked at Mo Luotang and asked, "It seems that you have already used the eclipse Gu."

Mo Luotang quickly replied: "As the high priest expected, it was Ye Junyan from Zhaoxuan Kingdom who was poisoned." Between the words, there was a look of complacency on his face.

Seeing this, the high priest showed displeasure and said: "I don't care who the little prince uses Gu on. I have already answered the questions of the little prince. If the little prince has no other questions, you can ask back."

Seeing that the high priest was unhappy, Mo Luotang didn't dare to say any more. After bowing and saluting, he was about to stand up and say goodbye. He hadn't paid attention to the situation in the room before because of his eagerness to ask questions. In the meantime, when I lowered my head, I saw that there was still an emerald green teacup on the table in front of me. The tea in the cup had not been touched by anyone, so I paused, thought for a while and said: "Dare to ask the high priest, what is the teacup in Xiaotang?" Has anyone else been here before?"

Hearing this, the high priest glanced at the cup on the table that the servant had brought to Gu Xinning before, and said, "This place is not a forbidden place, and it's not uncommon for people to come and go."

Mo Luotang took another look at the emerald cup on the table and said, "However, this person must be unusual, otherwise the high priest would not serve tea with the emerald cup."

The high priest nodded, and said without hesitation: "That's right, the big chief came before."

Mo Luotang reached out to touch the cup again, and the water in the cup was still warm, so he smiled and said, "Oh? So it's the big boss, and the big boss probably hasn't left yet."
