The bodyguard wants to get on my dragon bed

Chapter 42 The Prince of Nanqu

"How long will the medicine found from Zhao Ling last?" Zhao Chen said after Chen Jingning left.

"Now the speed of his poisoning is getting faster and faster, and it can take up to ten days at most." Xiao Qi said.

"It takes more than half a month to go back and forth to Nanqu. I don't know if he can survive this disaster."

"Everything is fate, and His Majesty has done enough."

Zhao Chen nodded slightly, "Xiao Qi, you secretly send people to the capital to investigate whether the poison from Nanqu appeared in the capital. I always feel that they will not stop there."

"Yes."

Two days later, Xiao Qi's expression became slightly heavy, "Your Majesty, as expected, a strange stall appeared in the capital. Recently, the number of homicides among the people has increased a lot, and they all died of poisoning."

"Oh?" Zhao Chen's eyes darkened a little, "Did you catch the stall owner?"

"Yes, he is outside the palace now, does His Majesty want to summon him now?"

"Bring him in."

Xiao Qi yelled out of the hall, and two people escorted one of them into the hall, "Your Majesty, this is the person who openly sells poison in the city."

Zhao Chen frowned. He thought it would be a young man, but he didn't expect to bring in a ragged child. He was still young and looked immature.Zhao Chen couldn't help but soften his voice, "Who are you, why do you want to sell Nanqu's poison in Huiyang?"

The young man glanced at Zhao Chen, but he was not afraid, he looked a little cunning, he bit his lip and said nothing.

Zhao Chen took a closer look at his appearance. He had black hair and black pupils, obviously he was from Huiyang. If he was from Nanqu, he must have shallow pupils. "If you don't speak, it will be difficult for me." He looked down at the young man in front of him, but he remained silent.Zhao Chen raised his head, "Take him down, ask him something and come see me again."

Unexpectedly, the young man was suddenly furious, and the two soldiers behind him saw how thin he was, so they didn't suppress him too much.The boy stood up all of a sudden and rushed towards Zhao Chen's direction.Zhao Chen looked at him indifferently, without moving at all, Xiao Qi jumped between the two in an instant, raised his leg and kicked the boy in the abdomen.

The young man was hit violently, fell backwards in pain, bowed his body on the ground for a long time, unable to move, and looked at Xiao Qi angrily.Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows and joked, "Xiao Qi, why are you so unmannered."

Xiao Qi withdrew his movements and returned behind Zhao Chen, "This person must be Nanqu's secret agent, so I naturally don't have to be polite to him."

"Look, you can't hurt me. Why don't you tell me everything, you've already arrived in the palace, is it possible that you still want someone to save you?" Zhao Chen sneered, "I want to get your medicine, it's from Nanqu What is the relationship between them and you?"

"What does this have to do with you!" The young man frowned and roared, perhaps he had exerted a little more force, and he frowned even tighter as he clutched his lower abdomen.

"You poisoned my people, what do you think it has to do with me?" Zhao Chen said.

"That's why they deserve to die." The boy's voice was soft but cold.

"It's not up to you to decide for them whether you should die or not." Zhao Chen said, "If you say he deserves to die, you can easily take people's lives away?"

"Oh." The young man snorted disdainfully, "Their enemies are willing to spend a lot of money to buy this medicine, isn't it because they have reached the limit? Are they only allowed to get revenge everywhere, and no one else is allowed to seek revenge?"

Zhao Chen pursed his lips, speechless, "Let's not talk about that, where did your poison come from?"

"I made it myself." The boy rolled his eyes and sneered.

"Are you from Nanqu?" Zhao Chen asked.

"Your Majesty is not smart either. With my appearance, how could I be from Nanqu."

"Then how can you make Nanqu's medicine?" Zhao Chen smiled, "It's okay not to say. Are the beggars in twos and threes hiding under the bridge in the west of the city still waiting for you to go back? We will start soon." Cooling down, I don’t know if they can survive these days.”

The young man gritted his teeth angrily, and stared at Zhao Chen like a small animal, "You're threatening me."

"No, no, why is it a threat?" Zhao Chen tapped the corner of the table, "This is called cooperation. You tell me where they are, and I will keep your friends safe." He hooked his lips, "How about it? , is this deal a good deal?"

"Even so, I will never tell you!" The young man turned his head away stubbornly, "I will not cooperate with people like you to harm good people."

"Good guy?" Zhao Chen felt a little funny, "I'm not discussing with you." He stood up, took out Xiao Qi's saber, held it up and looked at it for a few minutes, the blade gleamed in the sun, It's really beautiful.Zhao Chen sighed, "Have you looked at this sword? All your friends have one around their necks." He glanced at Xiao Qi and said, "Xiao Qi, when do you think this sword looks the best? "

"That must be when there is blood on it." Xiao Qi followed him.

"Hahaha, I think so too. Then, let him see this unprecedented beauty?" Zhao Chen still held up his sword and looked at it carefully, as if he was not talking to the boy on the ground at all.The boy was full of fear and anger, "No! Don't hurt them!"

"Oh? What are you using to negotiate with me?" Zhao Chen looked at him coldly.

"I, I know what you want." The boy's eyes were still burning with anger, but because of his companion's life, he had to bow his head.Zhao Chen smiled from the bottom of his heart, as expected, he was still a child, and he couldn't stand being scared at all.

"Really, then you can talk about it." Zhao Chen handed the sword into Xiao Qi's hand, turned around and sat back, and raised his chin to signal him to continue.

The teenager seemed to have experienced a great struggle, "They are good people who poisoned me. They saw that I was being bullied, so they gave me these things for self-defense. You can't hurt them, they are really good people."

"I can't guarantee it." Zhao Chen said.

The boy stopped talking, "Then I will definitely not tell you." Zhao Chen laughed, "You seem to have forgotten, and you have no right not to say it." As if in line with Zhao Chen's words, Xiao Chen Qi's sword was unsheathed a little more.The young man shrank his neck and said angrily, "Your Majesty, how can you be such a despicable person! Threatening people with the lives of the common people, what kind of shit emperor, bah!"

Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm so despicable. I exchanged the lives of a few people for the life of a city. This deal is too worthwhile." Seeing that Zhao Chen was not angry, the young man stopped cursing, lowered his head, and said , "They are at the Anyuelai Inn in the west of the city."

"That's good." Zhao Chen smiled, then turned to look at Xiao Qi coldly.Xiao Qi nodded slightly, then led the young man out of the main hall.

"You! You promised to let them go, you can't break your promise!" Although the young man was being pulled away, he turned his head to look at Zhao Chen, "If you dare to hurt them, I will never let you go!" !!"

Zhao Chen was taken aback, then smiled again, "How can you not let me go?" The young man's face flushed, "You!!" His cry gradually disappeared.Zhao Chen regained his indifferent expression, and turned the fingers in his hand. From this point of view, people from Nanqu had already sneaked into the capital.

Here, Xiao Qi brought people out of the palace and immediately surrounded An Yuelai Inn, and everyone nearby fled in panic after seeing this posture.Xiao Qi strode towards An Yuelai, but no one greeted him, he raised his eyes, and there were five people standing in the center of the inn, all of them were wearing loose blouses that covered their entire heads, and their faces could not be seen clearly at all. .The original people in the inn shrank in the corner with a look of fear on their faces.

"Who are you?" Xiao Qi drew out his sword as a gesture of attack.

"Don't be nervous, my lord. We don't intend to fight." One of the five people stepped forward, took off his hat, and revealed his blond hair. He continued in Huiyang language with a strange accent, "I I have been waiting here for a long time, my lord, please."

Xiao Qi frowned and looked at them, "If you all want to enter the palace, you should hand in all your weapons here, otherwise Xiao Qi can only use force."

"This..." He unconsciously stretched out his hand to cover the saber at his waist, glanced behind him secretly, saw a person behind him nodded his head slightly, and said again, "That's natural."

After collecting the weapons from several people, Xiao Qi brought them back to the palace.

"Your Majesty, the people from Nanqu are indeed here." Xiao Qi entered the hall and cupped his hands.There were five people behind him, all tightly wrapped.

Zhao Chen looked down at these people, "You entered Huiyang privately, but did you intend to cause war between the two countries?"

It was still the person who spoke to Xiao Qi just now, took off his hat and stepped forward, "You are the emperor of Huiyang? We have no such intention."

"How can I trust you?" Zhao Chen squinted his eyes, "If I executed you as a young man, what reason would there be for Nanqu to send troops?"

"If we don't go back, Nanqu will definitely go to war with Huiyang with all our strength, and His Majesty will not be willing." The man smiled kindly, "If the two countries are not fighting, how can Your Majesty do this?"

"How do I know if you are here for peace or provocation?"

"Is this kind of sincerity enough?" The person behind the man took two steps forward, and the person immediately lowered his head and retreated behind him.He took off the hat that concealed his identity, revealing curly dark red hair, and his pupils were also reddish brown, making him look flamboyant and unique.The man grinned, showing two cute canine teeth, "May His Majesty believe this?"

"Oh?" Zhao Chen looked at him.With red hair and red eyes, there is only one person in Nanqu who has such flamboyant features, "Prince Panruo has to come here in person."

Panruo straightened her slightly messy curly hair, and pressed the broken hair on her forehead behind her ears, revealing her rather exaggerated golden earrings, "Your Majesty, why should you know...well... uh..." He tilted his head slightly , the person behind him quickly whispered in his ear, and he licked his canine teeth again, and said with a bright smile, "Yes, I asked knowingly."

"Why should the prince stay outside the palace? It's not as comfortable as the palace outside. If I knew the prince was here, I should have entertained him well."

"It's not too late to entertain now. I finally saw His Majesty..." He paused, then turned to look at Xiao Qi bluntly, rubbed his lower lip flirtatiously with his canine teeth, and licked it with the tip of his tongue before saying again , "...and Xiao Qi."
