The Villain, The Quack, Poisons The Two Protagonists At The Beginning

In the wilderness of the north, a group of more than ten cavalrymen were galloping.

The leader is none other than King Xiaoyang's master, Min Zhao.

His mission was to kill the emperor. Since Gu Shixian was on the expedition himself, he naturally wanted to follow him.

Also accompanying him was the puppet master Cheng Lei. As for the other riders, they were elites who had already sneaked into the northern border to assist King Shuoning.

In the past two days, their group had intercepted and killed more than twenty Yan Kingdom spies, completely cutting off Gu Shixian's intelligence source.

This is an almost impossible task.

In this vast grassland, how easy is it to hunt down a spy?

There is only one kind of person who can do it, and that is the top beast master who can control the spiritual bird!

Birds capable of flight are undoubtedly the most powerful reconnaissance tools;

But the problem is, birds can't talk! Even if it discovers the enemy, it cannot transmit accurate information!

Only beast masters above the heavenly realm can establish a special link with the spirit bird, and use the spirit bird's vision to overlook everything!

It's a pity that beast masters of this level are too rare. Occasionally, there are a few who live in seclusion in the mountains and keep company with birds and beasts, and even the emperor cannot recruit them.

However, King Xiaoyang secretly trained one!

His name is Xiao Gang, and he is Xiao Zhi's biological brother.

At this time, Xiao Gang was acting together with Min Zhao. With the help of his spiritual bird Frost Falcon, he easily tracked all the Yan Kingdom spies and killed them one by one!

"When can we take action against the Tang family!?" But the task before him only made Xiao Gang feel irritated, and he was eager to avenge his brother.

According to intelligence from the capital, Xiao Zhi died in the melee, and the murderer could not be verified.

But we can basically rule out the injured emperor and the poisoned Chen Lun, so the murderer should be the Tang family! They discovered Xiao Zhi's hidden identity and killed him!

"Xiao Gang! Our first task is to deal with the emperor!" Min Zhao had to remind Xiao Gang, "Of course revenge must be avenged, but not now!"

In terms of cultivation, Xiao Gang is actually slightly higher than Min Zhao;

However, the strength of the beast master's cultivation lies in the use of spiritual power to communicate with spirit beasts. Just looking at the combat ability, it is completely inferior to the same level of cultivation.

Therefore, Min Zhao's status in the group is higher than Xiao Gang, and he is the commander-in-chief of the operation.

"Fuck..." Xiao Gang gritted his teeth and finally calmed down;

He regrouped his energy, established a link with the Frost Falcon, and began to observe the situation in the distance.

Recently, Gukui has been leading Xing Darong in circles.

Gukui's investigation work was equally excellent. After discovering Xing Darong, the entire army immediately retreated.

Of course Xing Darong has to pursue it, because the emperor needs this victory! If you return without success, you will definitely be punished!

However, the Gukui people are all light cavalry, and the horses are also northern breeds with excellent endurance. Xing Darong's cavalry can't catch up at all!

When Xing Darong was resting, the Gukui people came back to harass him;

Xing Darong continued to pursue, but Gu Kuiren ran away again...

After two days of repeated cycles, Xing Darong's side was exhausted and unable to fight anymore.

He sent someone back to report to the emperor, but heard nothing;

Seeing that he was about to be overwhelmed by the Gukui people, Xing Darong had to choose to retreat to the nearest stronghold - Niujiabao, a small castle in Shuoning.

"Xing Darong's troops are about to enter Niujiabao." Xiao Gang told Min Zhao the latest information, "They can't hold on any longer."

"Very good." Min Zhao showed a proud smile, "Then they are finished."

...

According to official intelligence, there are 2,000 troops stationed in Niujiabao and sufficient food and grass reserves.

However--

When Xing Darong entered Niujiabao, he discovered that it was almost an empty city!

There is no garrison! ? There are only dozens of old, weak, sick, and beggar-like soldiers!

As for the food and grass reserves, it's even more nonsense! It’s good that these dozens of garrison soldiers didn’t starve to death!

"What the hell! This is naked free money! It's the crime of deceiving the emperor!" Xing Darong immediately figured it out.

No wonder the Gukui people dare to go south to harass, because the border defense line of the Yan Kingdom seems to be in vain!

And the reports the emperor received were always fabricated by Tang Wei!

None of the local officials dared to tell the truth. After all, their relatives and property are all here...

As for the supervisory censor sent by the emperor, hehe, he was killed by Tang Wei without knowing the current affairs!

Then he blamed the foreign bandits, leaving the emperor speechless.

"Damn Tang Wei...he is greedy for thousands and tens of thousands of times more money than I am!" Xing Darong was furious. He just wanted to be a saint immediately and denounce Tang Wei's crimes!

But he can't get out!

Gukui's army caught up and surrounded Niujiabao!

Fortunately, the enemy did not dare to attack the castle and was still in the wait-and-see stage.

Fortunately, there was a well in the city, so Xing Darong and the others would not die of thirst;

Moreover, the dry food can last for another three days. As long as you rest for one night, you can break out tomorrow... don't panic!

However, that night, Min Zhao sneaked into the city quietly, used illusions to deceive the guards, and poisoned the well!

This poison is the proud work of Xiaoyang's top poison master!

The poison master's name was Wu Eclipse, and he was originally a Gu cultivator who hid under King Xiaoyang's sect to avoid being hunted.

He painstakingly researched for more than ten years, using various poisonous weeds, poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous snakes to extract toxins, and finally produced a compound strange poison! Named "Impermanent Powder"!

This impermanence powder is extremely toxic, attacks rapidly, and there is no cure!

And it is easily soluble in water, colorless and odorless, and difficult to detect!

Xiao Zhi had used it a little before, using an undercover agent to throw himself into the wine jar of Miaoyin Tower, and easily poisoned all the guests at the scene!

It's a pity that the emperor was not poisoned! Blocked by Chen Lun...

Oh, and that guy Wei Lang, he must have survived by not drinking!

However, this test is enough to prove that even a heavenly master like Chen Lun cannot withstand Wuchang San! If the dose had been higher, it might have killed him!

And Wu Xi has proclaimed himself the best poison master in the world, claiming that he can poison millions of people in the capital with just a move of his fingers!

horrible! It's really terrible!

Min Zhao's poisoning was the second large-scale test!

...

The next day, when Xing Darong's soldiers were full and ready to rush out to fight Gukui...

It’s poisonous!

The soldiers fell to the ground one after another, some rolling, some twitching, and some fainting on the spot! The war horse that had drank water also collapsed to the ground!

However, since the poison was poisoned in the well, the toxin concentration was not high enough, so the poisoned person probably would not die, but would just have to endure pain and suffering...

But Gukuiren’s opportunity has come!

They soon discovered something unusual in the city, and after a little testing, they launched an siege!

They broke into Niujiapu without much effort, and what followed was a bloody massacre...

And the mighty General Xing, using his extraordinary cultivation to suppress the poison, broke through the encirclement alone and escaped!

However, I never expected...

Waiting for him outside the city was a team of top experts such as Min Zhao!

boom--!

As a huge fireball exploded, Xing Darong finally turned into a charred corpse...
