The king behind the empress

Chapter 111 The Poisoned Panacea

Xue Wanche looked at Mo Zizai and turned his thoughts silently in his heart. The reason why he wanted to join him was actually two purposes. One was to find a stronger backer for Tianjing Wei.

And the second is for himself, he wants to learn the sword technique used by Zhou Qi, so that he can step into the Soul Realm as soon as possible.

For him, these two purposes are equally important, so he began to silently figure out where he should speak in his heart.

And Mo Zizai, who was sitting opposite him, looked at Xue Wanche who had been silent for a long time, and couldn't help frowning, "I've said all this so that you can speak directly, but you still play silent with me."

"Master Xue, if you don't know what to say, go back first, and it won't be too late to come back when you think about what to say."

Hearing Mo Zizai's serious dissatisfaction, Xue Wanche quickly explained: "Forgive me, my lord, I just don't know where to start."

Xue Wanche hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth, it's not wrong to wait for the price, but it's not good to be self-defeating.

"The lower official came this time because he wanted to seek refuge with the prince."

"Trust me?"

Although Mo Zizai had already guessed the reason for Xue Wanche's visit, he still asked, "Why does Lord Xue have such an idea?"

Xue Wanche shook his head, and said helplessly: "My lord, my Tianjing Guard has now imprisoned two servants. If I don't join my lord now, they will probably make things difficult for my Tianjing Guard's people in various ways, and at the same time offend the Ministry of Rites. Ministry of Punishments, my little Tianjing Guard really can't bear it."

"not to mention……"

Xue Wanche raised his eyes and glanced at Zhou Qi who was standing behind Mo Zizai, and decided to tell the truth, so he stopped covering up and said directly: "What's more, I want to learn the sword technique Master Zhou used before. Let’s break through to the Soul Realm, and I hope the prince can achieve it.”

Well, it really has something to do with Tianzijian.

Mo Zizai pondered for a moment. Although the Seven Swords of the Son of Heaven were directly transmitted to Zhou Qi's mind by the accelerator, it does not mean that this sword technique cannot be taught to the outside world. As long as Zhou Qi meets, there is no problem in teaching it to the outside world.

Therefore, it is not a problem to pass the Seven Swords of the Son of Heaven to Xue Wanche to take him under his command, but Mo Zizai is not thinking about these things at the moment. What he is thinking now is whether he will accept if Xue Wanche is given low-level acceleration.

After all, although low-level acceleration can increase Xue Wanche's practice speed by five times, after all, his life will be controlled by others from now on, and Mo Zizai is not sure whether he will accept it.

Seeing that Mo Zizai remained silent all this time, Xue Wanche couldn't help but raise his heart silently. Is there something wrong with this sword technique?Or is it a gift from the late emperor, and Mo Zizai has no right to give it away?

That wouldn't be the case, as far as he knew, the relationship between Mo Zizai and the late emperor had always been normal. When the late emperor was alive, Mo Zizai didn't care much about the late emperor. Could it be that he became filial again after the late emperor died?
Or, Mo Zizai felt that he was not worth enough and didn't want to give himself this sword technique?Can't you?How can I say that I am also a martial artist who is about to step into the realm of soul, so there should be some value in this, right?

Because he cared too much, Xue Wanche kept thinking wildly in his mind, and at the end he began to doubt himself a little. Could it be that he is really not worth a skill?Was it just overconfidence?Are you a waste?

Just when Xue Wanche was racking his brains to think if he had anything to prove his worth, Mo Zizai suddenly said, "Master Xue, there is no problem in passing that swordsmanship to you, but..."

Hearing that Mo Zizai said that he could pass on the sword technique to himself, Xue Wanche felt a little happy for a moment, but when he couldn't hear those two words, his heart suddenly rose again.

When negotiating conditions with people, I am most afraid of hearing these two words, because once these two words appear, it means that there will be nothing good to say next.

"But what, please ask the prince but it's okay, as long as the lower officials can do it, they will definitely not refuse."

"Master Xue is too worried, I don't have any additional conditions."

Seeing that Xue Wanche had misunderstood, Mo Zizai explained: "This king just wants to ask you a question."

"question?"

Xue Wanche was taken aback for a moment, did he want to test whether he really trusted him?But what can one ask a question? Although he was full of doubts, Xue Wanche didn't ask too much, but said directly: "My lord, please."

"It's like this, if Master Xue has a poisonous panacea in front of him, after eating it, Master Xue's practice speed will increase five times, but the price is that your life will fall into the control of others from now on."

Mo Zizai stared at Xue Wanche and said seriously: "So, if there is such a panacea, would Lord Xue take it?"

"How can there be such a panacea in this world, haha~"

Xue Wanche thought that Mo Zizai was joking, so he couldn't help laughing, but after he finished laughing, he found that he was the only one laughing in the hall, so he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

However, when he saw Mo Zizai's serious expression, he suddenly felt that maybe this was not a joke with him?

"My lord, this panacea really exists..."

Before Xue Wanche finished speaking, he saw Mo Zizai take out a brocade box from his arms and put it on the table. Inside the brocade box was a gray-white pill the size of a thumb.

This elixir was specially refined by Mo Zizai after learning the lesson from Yang Weishang last time, just to deal with the current situation.

As for the ingredients of this elixir, it's similar to the charlatan's Dali Wan, except that the flour is hawthorn and the like, purely for fooling people.

It's just that this foolish pill made Xue Wanche stare dumbfounded. He fixed his eyes on this "magic pill", and the words Mo Zizai just said kept echoing in his mind,

"The speed of practice has increased five times, five times, five times!!!"

"Guru~"

After Xue Wanche swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he moved his eyes away from the 'panacea' with difficulty, and then began to think about another sentence Mo Zizai said, that is, life will be controlled by others.

There is nothing wrong with him coming to seek refuge with Mo Zizai today, but it does not mean that he will tie his life to Mo Zizai's chariot. His original plan was to do things and contribute.

When Mo Zizai is dying, he will run when he should. After all, it's just a swordsmanship, and it's not enough for him to fight to the end.

But now, Mo Zizai took out such a panacea to lure him, which directly made him mess up.

"Five times, sex..."

Just when Xue Wanche was about to mutter a few words habitually, he suddenly had the answer, "Fuck the life, I want five times!"

"My lord, I just want to ask one thing, if I take this panacea, will you be the one who controls my life?"

"It's the king."

Mo Zizai nodded and said, "But this kind of control is limited to deprivation, and the deprivation method is very complicated and cannot be used easily."

After hearing Mo Zizai say it was him, Xue Wanche stood up and ate the 'magic pill'. He didn't care about the complexity of the following.

Complicated or not is what Mo Zizai said, even if Mo Zizai lied and said it was not complicated, what can he do, so there is no need to care about it at all.

After all, people say when they cast bait that the bait is poisonous, and since you can't help but eat it, why bother with the poison on it.
