Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

Chapter 198 Du Shimu's Secret Revealed

Two years ago, the ambitious Liger finally couldn't wait any longer.

He went to great lengths to find a rare poison, which he poisoned his brother Atan and his nephew Tal at the same time, in an attempt to usurp the throne of the Northern Yi.

The final result was that Lige succeeded, Atan died, Tal was seriously injured, and he successfully moved into the royal city.

Tal retreated with his men and stationed on a grassland near the northern border, sandwiched between the royal city and the northern border.

Although he was poisoned by the same poison, Tal was luckier than his father. He had a good doctor who helped him alleviate the effects of the poison.

In addition, Tal was young and strong, and was the bravest warrior in the Northern Barbarians, so his life was not in danger for the time being.

But the doctor could not completely eliminate the poison. He told Tal that if the poison was not eliminated, he would die within three years.

The poison used by Lige was extremely powerful. If the remaining poison was not cleared, it would continue to consume the victim's essence and blood, and eventually cause the victim to become weak and die.

Tal cannot die. Once he dies, Lige will take advantage of the chaos to unify the Northern Barbarians. Then he will gather a large army and march south. Daliang will be devastated again.

Therefore, when the spy sent the information about Tal's poisoning to the northern border, Yunhu and Qi Tian's master, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan of Daliang, acted decisively and sent Du Shimu, the person most likely to detoxify Tal, to Beiyi.

At that time, a military inspector sent by the imperial court was jumping up and down in the northern army, causing a lot of trouble to the army.

At the suggestion of Prince Yan, Du Shimu took advantage of the opportunity to treat the military inspector for a cold and killed him with poison.

In the end, Du Shimu was "executed" for the crime of murdering the imperial envoy, but in fact he was secretly sent to Tal's slave team.

Tal shared the same stance as his uncle Lige in hating the people of Daliang. It took Du Shimu two years to gain his trust and have the opportunity to detoxify him.

After taking Tal's pulse, Du Shimu first offered a prescription to buy time.

After Tal drank the medicine, the damage in his body became even more serious.

When they went to Du Shimu's residence to arrest him, he had already run away. They only found another "prescription" written by him:

When they met in Yizhou, the poison was immediately resolved.

Tal then realized that Du Shimu had been a spy from the North all along, and had infiltrated his team just to find an opportunity to catalyze the toxins in his body.

Originally he had a year to find an antidote, but now he only has a few days to live.

But Tal knew that the wise King Yan would not let him die easily. King Yan just wanted to negotiate with him to deal with Lige together.

Tal eventually took his men and disguised himself as a caravan to sneak into the North. However, Lige somehow got the news and had his secret agents in the North assassinate them along the way, resulting in the loss of all of Tal's men.

Tal himself was also injured in the abdomen and finally met Luo Xiaoran and others.

……

"Yun Hu, this is the person the master has been waiting for for a long time. He is also related to the person you helped send back last time!"

Because Luo Xiaoran and others were present, Qi Tian spoke very vaguely, but Yun Hu understood it immediately.

He suddenly looked at the injured man. It turned out that he was the young master of Beiyi, and he was also the reason why Du Shimu had stayed in Beiyi for two years.

Luo Xiaoran’s guess was correct. Yun Hu was indeed King Yan’s subordinate, and the Dongfeng Caravan was also King Yan’s property.

Therefore, Du Shimu, who had been lurking in the Northern Yi for two years, found the Dongfeng Post Station only after entering Yizhou and asked Yunhu to take him back to the military camp.

After all, Du Shimu was apparently a person who had been executed, which meant that he could not enter and leave the military camp freely.

Du Shimu was taken by Yunhu to meet King Yan and report Tal's situation.

After finishing the report, Du Shimu told the story of how his daughter Du Kongqing was persecuted by An Luhai, and asked King Yan to help him protect his daughter.

Du Shimu's secret recipe for giving birth to a boy to An Luhai was just a delaying tactic. If he wanted to nip the problem in the bud and completely put an end to An Luhai's idea of ​​harming Du Kongqing, King Yan had to intervene.

Because of An Luhai's special status, Prince Yan did not want to kill him for the time being, so he asked Yun Hu to put pressure on him and warn him in the name of Prince Yan's Mansion.

Later, Luo Xiaoran brought Qiu Niang to seek refuge, but she didn't expect that she and Du Shimu were talking about the same thing, both for the purpose of protecting Du Kongqing.

Therefore, Yun Hu agreed immediately and promised to deal with An Luhai and prevent him from causing trouble for Luo Xiaoran and others again.

After receiving the warning from Prince Yan's Mansion, An Luhai no longer made things difficult for Luo Xiaoran and Du Kongqing in public.

But as a local official of Fuyuan County, he naturally had many means to deal with them in a way that complied with the laws of Daliang.

So, there was that almost impossible corvee.

……

Based on the existing information, Luo Xiaoran could only guess that the injured man was very important to Qi Tian and the others, at least, much more important than her.

Now, the injured man holds a grudge against him, and with the support of Qi Tian and others, he will definitely not give up.

She was afraid that she was in big trouble, but she didn't want to drag her friends down.

"I'm the only one who beat you, and I beat you really hard. I can go with you alone!" Luo Xiaoran said to provoke him.

The injured man was indeed angry after hearing this. He never thought that when things had come to this point, Luo Xiaoran would still dare to be so presumptuous.

Qi Tian and Yun Hu were confused. When they first came over, they only saw a few people standing face to face, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.

But the two of them really didn't expect that before they came, Luo Xiaoran had already beaten up the young master of Beiyi.

Qi Tian and Yun Hu turned to look at Luo Xiaoran tacitly, and there was a hint of respect in their eyes.

If Luo Xiaoran knew that the person he had just beaten was the young master of Beiyi, he would probably respect himself a little bit - how unlucky! If he offended someone casually, he would be the successor of a country.

With her unlucky physique, she is quite a destructive presence in the entire Daliang.

"Okay! You!"

After saying that, before everyone could react, the injured man wanted to step forward and grab Luo Xiaoran's hair and take her to Qi Tian.

Even though Luo Xiaoran had difficulty walking, she did not want to endure such humiliation, so she dodged it lightly, leaving the injured man empty-handed.

The injured man missed a step and felt a pain in his abdominal wound.

He immediately remembered Du Kongqing who had been very rough with him when he was bandaging him. He didn't have time to settle the score with Luo Xiaoran, so he pointed at Du Kongqing and said:

"She has to go too!"

Luo Xiaoran quits!

The reason why she followed him so easily was to protect Du Kongqing and the other three. Now the injured man is trying to get even more demanding, and she won't tolerate it!

"Either I go alone! Or I risk everything and break up with Yun Hu and kill you. You choose!"

As soon as Luo Xiaoran said this, Qi Tian and Yun Hu's faces changed instantly.

Tal cannot die, he is the man the master has been waiting for two years, he is the key figure to contain Lige in Beiyi, he is extremely important!
