Young White Horse: The Poison Sword Master of the Wen Family, Shocking the Apocalypse

Chapter 354: No man can be a hero without poison, Yi Bu offers a poisonous plan!

"what?"

"Why is Wen Yanzhao, the traitor who deserved death, coming to Tianqi City again?!"

Yi Bu's words made Xiao Chongjing tremble with fear, and a layer of cold sweat seeped out from under his underwear.

He suddenly stood up from the dragon throne, his face full of horror. His gaze moved from Yi Bu to the timid Mu Liuyun, and finally he slumped back into the dragon throne.

"In reply to your Majesty, I, your disciple, did see a group of four of them: three men and one woman..."

"And among them is a wanderer named Sikong Changfeng, who wields a silver spear!"

Yi Bu's words were very convincing, and Xiao Chongjing became alert as soon as he said them.

Zhuoqing stood aside with his eyelids drooping, and had already guessed most of what was going on. But with the emperor beside him, he didn't say much, just waiting for Xiao Chongjing to give orders.

The old emperor calmed down for a while, and his complexion gradually returned to normal.

In Zhuoqing's opinion, the emperor's expression was no longer as panic-stricken as before.

Xiao Chongjing stretched out a finger and tapped on the armrest of the dragon throne again and again.

"Tap! Tap! Tap..."

It was so quiet in Pingqing Palace that no one dared to make a sound, and every knock of Xiao Chongjing's was clearly audible.

Yi Bu counted the sounds silently in his heart. When he counted to the twelfth time, Xiao Chongjing finally smiled sinisterly:

"Hehe... If it's really as General Yi said, then these four so-called immortals... in my opinion... are most likely just the remnants of the Wen and Baili families trying to create mystery!"

"What are you talking about? Taibai giant clam, and the elixir that can prolong life for a hundred years... You've been in power for over a decade since the first year of Taihe. You might be able to fool the world, but this trick won't escape my old eyes!"

"Wen Yanzhao, ah Wen Yanzhao, you've put so much effort into it, using your magical powers and posting notices, causing a stir in the city. Now you're trying to offer treasures, it's simply child's play..."

"Zhuoqing, do you think I should play with them? Don't they want treasures? Tell them to have Pei Ruxuan, the Minister of the Imperial Household, come to see me in Pingqing Palace before 3:00 PM. I want to see if they can produce an elixir that can prolong my life for a hundred years!"

Zhuoqing bowed and replied, "I will obey your order and summon Pei Ruxuan right away!"

Xiao Chongjing nodded slightly. After Zhuoqing left, he turned his gaze to Yi Bu:

"General Yi, you've worked hard... My words yesterday were a bit harsh, so please don't take them to heart. The safety of Tianqi City still depends on your dedication!"

"Now, we don't know what kind of chaos Wen Yanzhao and his few rebels will cause in Tianqi City. You will have to work hard these days. I will not treat you unfairly."

Ib immediately knelt down and chanted "Long live the Buddha". His servile appearance was disgusting.

Mu Liuyun stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

Xiao Chongjing was deliberately ignoring his uncle. He raised his head, glanced at Mu Liuyun with drooping eyelids, and said coldly:

"General Mu, don't let your guard down either. There are still tens of thousands of imperial guards in the imperial city at your disposal. That group of traitors is hiding in Qianjintai. Don't act rashly. Just send the imperial guards to patrol back and forth!"

Mu Liuyun knew that his status was not as high as before, so he could only bow and say, "I obey your command. Even if it means sacrificing my life, I will protect your majesty!"

Xiao Chongjing was tired of hearing these polite words and raised his hand: "Alright, alright. I don't want you to die for your crimes. I just hope that your officers can be loyal to their duties. That will make me feel at ease! Go and get busy... I'm a little tired."

Mu Liuyun turned and retreated. Yi Bu was cautious and deliberately slowed down his movements. Xiao Chongjing was very careful and could see his thoughts. When he saw Mu Liuyun leaving the hall, he stopped Yi Bu who had just turned around and was about to step out of the door:

"Since you don't want to leave, then stay and talk with me!"

Yi Bu, who had his back to Xiao Chongjing, was secretly delighted. He deliberately turned slowly and looked at Xiao Chongjing hesitantly:

"I wonder if Your Majesty was speaking to me just now?"

Xiao Chongjing chuckled: "Do you think there is anyone else in this palace besides the few eunuchs serving here?"

Yi Bu did not dare to neglect and bowed and replied: "I Bu is dull and I don't know what else Your Majesty wants. Please tell me clearly..."

Xiao Chongjing straightened his back and scolded with a smile:

"The older the fox gets, the more cunning it becomes. Sect Master Yi clearly intended to slow down, but now he's blaming me for it. How dare you!"

When Yi Bu heard this, a smile appeared on his face:

"How dare I? Your Majesty sees through my thoughts like fire. How can I hide them?"

Xiao Chongjing waved his long sleeves, motioning Yi Bu to sit down, and then two eunuchs refilled their tea.

"Tell me, if you have anything to tell me alone, it's just you and me now."

Xiao Chongjing picked up the ginseng tea, took a sip and said.

Yi Bu sniffed the tea aroma emanating from the teacup. With his knowledge, he naturally knew that the teacup contained the top-grade Dongding Oolong tea that cost two thousand taels of silver per pound.

But Yi Bu had no intention of drinking tea. He turned to Xiao Chongjing and said slowly:

"Your Majesty—"

"According to the information I have, Wen Yanzhao and his four companions came from Snow Moon City in the southwest, drove north and broke into Tianqi. They deliberately disguised themselves as immortals to demand things, so they are definitely not just looking for treasures."

"The notice said that the Taibai giant clam is neither gold nor jade, but it resembles both gold and jade, and is indistinguishable from the gold and jade in the mortal world... This is clearly intended to get Tianqi City to hand over the gold and jade to him, so that the four of them can take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune!"

"According to the Ying Sect's surveys over the past six months, Xueyue City is located roughly near the border between Yunzhou and Shuzhong, hidden deep between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. Furthermore, due to the constant clouds and mist, the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, which is why so few people have ever visited it."

"In my opinion, if we rely on single combat, we are no match for the four of them. Wen Yanzhao's astonishing poison skills are no longer something that mortals can withstand..."

At this point, Xiao Chongjing's eyes moved but he said nothing, but from his expression it could be seen that he was quite satisfied with what Yi Bu had just said.

Seeing that Xiao Chongjing did not interrupt him, Yi Bu continued:

"Your Majesty! I have a plan. Even if we can't capture the bandit leader Wen Yanzhao, we can still capture Baili Dongjun and his companions!"

"By then, we'll have the hostage in our hands. We won't be afraid that Wen Yanzhao and Baili Luochen will not just sit back and wait for death!"

Xiao Chongjing immediately became alert, pushing himself up with his arms and almost standing up. He asked in surprise:

"What's the plan?"

Yi Bu reached into his arms and took out a piece of paper. Then he stood up, took a few steps in front of Xiao Chongjing, and gently unfolded the paper.

There were two lines of words written on the paper:

A man of small mind is not a gentleman.

No drug, no husband.

Xiao Chongjing was a little puzzled, his Adam's apple moved as he asked:

"So...are you planning to poison the Wen family? Haha...Yi Bu, are you getting senile? Tell me what you mean."

Yi Bu crumpled the paper into a ball and rubbed it into crumbs. He smiled faintly and said:

"Your Majesty, please do not worry. Although I am old, I am not confused."

"The Wen family is unparalleled in poison, but Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng, who are close to Wen Yanzhao, are not members of the Wen family!"

"My disciples have already found out that they will be staying and eating at Qianjintai for the time being. It would be easy to bribe a few of the Qianjintai staff and tamper with their food and drinks!"

"By the time Baili Dongjun and the others' lives hang in the balance, I don't believe Wen Yanzhao would dare to rely on his divine travel skills to continue to oppose us!"

"Whether it's the traitor Baili Luochen or the old scoundrel Wen Lin from Lingnan, they both regard Baili Dongjun as their lifeblood. If anything happens to Baili Dongjun, it will be difficult for Wen Yanzhao to explain himself, right?"

Xiao Chongjing immediately understood and sneered, "A true man cannot be a hero without being vicious!"
