The prince is very fierce

After Xu Buling had dinner with Mrs. Lu, they went to the Xiao family mansion in front and found the archives of Jiazi Qianping and Qi Baiyue from the Xiao mansion.

The Xiao family has worshiped the prime minister for generations, and the records in it must be detailed, but the price is that there are too many files. After many years of fighting in the south and north until entering Chang'an, it is difficult to count the number of large and small battles fought. There are also rationing of baggage, recruitment and dispatch, post-war resettlement, etc. One can imagine how many files there are.

Xu Buling's scalp went numb after just a glance. It was definitely impossible to spend time in the library looking for it. After saying hello to the Xiao family, he called the palace guards to carry two large boxes back to the palace. The military deployment in history is not a secret. It is information for the Xiao family's children to check. Basically, the general family has it. The Xiao family naturally didn't say anything. Just remember it.

At dusk, candles were burning in the study room of Prince Su's Mansion, and the swords and swords shone sharply on the carved tiger orchid.

Xu Buling sat on the ground next to the pile of books. Lao Xiao and several dead soldiers from the royal palace were also similar, frowning and searching carefully among the books placed on the floor.

Lao Xiao took the file, licked his fingers and turned the page, and said with some suspicion: "Little Prince, Miss Ning is kind-hearted, but the method of detoxification is a bit confusing. Drinking human blood and using human flesh as medicine are a little bit... The truth is, this is the same as the yin and yang of the person who raises the poison until the essence is released from the body..."

Xu Buling also had a weird look on his face, shaking his head with a look of dossiers: "Well...poisonous poisons are very mysterious. Not many people even know how to raise poisonous poisons. I have to give it a try..."

Old Xiao pouted and thought for a while: "It's not impossible to give it a try, but if the person who raises the poison is a man, or in his seventies or eighties, the young prince may not be able to lift a gun... But for men, as long as they hate it... , regardless of gender, age or child..."

"Stop it!"

Xu Buling had goosebumps all over his body and frowned: "According to Miss Ning, as long as you have the same bloodline as the Gu breeder..."

"What if a Gu breeder has no father, no mother, no wife, no children, and is still a eunuch..."

"Hahaha……"

Surrounded by the unsmiling royal guards, some of them couldn't hold back their laughter.

Xu Buling's face was covered with black lines and he snorted lightly:

"If this is really the case, my life is almost gone. What else can I do but endure it?"

Old Xiao shook his head, frowned and said: "This person is the one who raised the poison. It wasn't the prince who stabbed him, it was him..."

"hiss--"

Xu Buling raised his hand, stopped Lao Xiao who was not serious in his words, and thought about it for a while:

"If the other party is a eunuch, wouldn't it be a dead end?"

"That's not true. Men still have a chance..."

Xu Buling dropped the book on the ground and rubbed his forehead:

"Forget it if you die, I won't look for you anymore..."

Lao Xiao shrugged his shoulders: "Lao Xiao, I also prepared for the worst. How could there be such a coincidence? There are always relatives without daughters..."

Nagging, rummaging around.

Because of the search target of 'Hundred Insect Valley', the scope was narrowed a lot. About when the sun set, the boss of the guard had a look on his face. He got up from the ground and walked over to Xu Buling. He knelt down and pointed at a page in the book. :

"Young prince, I found it."

Xu Buling was having a nightmare, and he took the book over with some confusion, but before he could take a closer look, a name came into view:

"Xiao Ying?!"

When Lao Xiao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and he came closer to take a look: "Oh~ He is really the old head of the Xiao family in Huainan... This news is not very good..."

Xu Bu Ling's face darkened, he picked up the book and read the records carefully, word for word.

Because Bai Chong Valley is just an evil force in the Jianghu, and it is grouped together with other cottages and bandit houses. It was probably Xu Lie who led his troops south to quell Baiyue before Jiazi. The military advisor at that time was Xiao Ying, who was also the prime minister of the dynasty Xiao Ying. Chu Yang's grandfather.

It is precisely because of Xiao Ying, who is known as the "unparalleled national scholar", that he played such an important role in the battle to bring peace to the world in Dayue. The status of the Xiao family in Huainan has soared to the sky, becoming the head of the family in Dayue, even lower than the Lu family. First gear.

However, the attack on South Vietnam was the beginning of Dayue's army. Xiao Ying's status was not as transcendent as after the peace of the world. At that time, she only served as an ordinary military advisor to advise Xu Lie.

Dayue's army almost pushed through South Vietnam flatly. After the army passed by, banditry broke out in the mountains and fields. After occupying the cities and counties, they had to hold on to appease the people and resume farming. Xiao Ying was responsible for this aspect, leading troops and horses to clean up the bandit forces in the mountains and fields. Because many soldiers were killed by poisons, the imperial court hated this aspect very much, and basically wiped out all the evil ways of cultivating poisons and making poisons, and It was at that time that the Hundred Insect Valley was leveled.

After reading these records, Lao Xiao frowned and thought for a moment:

"Old King Su was the commander-in-chief of the army. It was precisely because the army was united and united that it was able to fight with great strength. At that time, everyone from top to bottom basically obeyed Old Su King...

... King Lao Su was extremely loyal to Emperor Xiaozong. At that time, Emperor Xiaozong ordered the eradication of evil sects in the mountains and wilds, especially those who raised poison and harmed people. With King Lao Su's temperament, he would not keep a single person alive, let alone let him hide it privately...

...If the Locking Dragon Gu was secretly hidden at that time, even though it was just a trivial matter, it is impossible for us not to record it at all, then..."

Xu Buling put down the book and frowned: "My grandfather's eyes and ears are all in the army. They can disobey military orders and take poisonous poison privately without being discovered. There are not many people in the army. If the Dragon Locking Gu was really secretly used, There is no one else brought back except Xiao Ying."

"Um……"

Lao Xiao rubbed his crutches, his face became a little more serious, and he thought about it:

"The Huainan Xiao family is good at strange things and gossip, and is also involved in various strange and obscene skills. This has been known to everyone hundreds of years ago. Although Locking Dragon Gu is overbearing and vicious, it is indeed a unique masterpiece in the world and has never been seen before. People can cultivate more powerful poisonous poisons... With the Xiao family's consistent style, they are reluctant to let such objects disappear into the world, so it is not impossible to keep them privately...

...But why did the Xiao family poison the young prince? The members of the aristocratic family have always been just outsiders. They will add icing on the cake and add insult to injury, but they will never act as a leader. King Su has the capital to raise an army. According to their style of acting, they will only win over each other and not enmity..."

Xu Buling was also confused here, and thought carefully: "It is impossible for the Xiao family to poison me. The Xiao family has transcended the world. Just the guardian of the family property can pass on the incense for thousands of years. And after my death, my father raised an army. , it really broke the news that the world in Chang'an changed hands, and the Xiao family in Huainan was gone... And even if the Xiao family took action, it couldn't have been ordered by the Holy Emperor. If the Xiao family used this as a surrender certificate to change the family, let's say, "The emperor has no way to kill the meritorious deeds" After that, the Song family may be gone..."

Old Xiao nodded: "Then this news is not accurate. Maybe the Dragon Locking Gu on the young prince came from somewhere else, not from Hundred Insect Valley."

Xu Buling thought for a long time and shook his head: "The wolf guard who died violently was undoubtedly the Locking Dragon Gu. The poisonous poison must have been spread from the imperial court. The most likely possibility is to get the Locking Dragon Gu from the Hundred Insect Valley. In any case, Gotta check it out.”

Old Xiao spread his hands: "How to check this? The young prince's being infected by the Dragon Lock Gu is very involved. Even Mrs. Lu, the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, doesn't know about such secrets. The only people in the world who know about it are probably the direct descendants of the Xiao family. You can’t ask Xiao Xiangyou if he doesn’t have the Locking Dragon Gu, the guards of the Xiao Mansion are not much worse than those of the Imperial City.”

Xu Bu Ling rubbed his fingers and hesitated for a while:

"A direct descendant of the Xiao family...Xiao Ting?"

"..."

Old Xiao smacked his lips, looking like 'the young prince is seriously ill'.

Xu Buling also knew that it was impossible. If Xiao Ting, a big talker, could know the secrets of the Xiao family in Huainan, the Xiao family would be gone long ago.

"The popularity of the Xiao family has withered over the years. After Aunt Lu's husband passed away at an early age, the eldest son's line died immediately. The second son Xiao Chuyang was replaced to take the lead. There are only a few people left in the Xiao family's direct line... …Except for Xiao Xiang and Xiao Ting, among the direct descendants of the Xiao family who remain in Chang'an City, the only one left is the Queen Mother...The Queen Mother..."

Xu Buling said this, touched his chin and looked towards the direction of the imperial city.

Old Xiao thought about it for a moment: "I'm afraid we can only take action from the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is a woman and it is unlikely that she will know about this matter, but at least we can talk to Mr. Xiao."

"..."

Xu Bu Ling's face became tangled. He had offended the Queen Mother a few days ago, and it seemed a bit unrealistic to ask this now.

And if the Locking Dragon Gu really came from the Xiao family, maybe the Queen Mother would be bullied...well...maybe to the point of rolling her eyes...

"hiss--"

Xu Buling rubbed his forehead, stood up and walked a few times, looked at the direction of the imperial city, and finally muttered secretly:

My life is almost gone, why bother doing so much...
