After being exiled, the Crown Princess rose to the top by pitting the villain
Chapter 146: Poisoning the Strange Tree
Li Liu kept this jade pendant close to his body. He once said that it was a gift from his wife to him to ease his longing for her, and he would never take it off unless he died.
Lin Zili's eyebrows jumped, feeling that the situation was not good.
Something happened to the people of King Yan of Heng State in Ruo State, so wouldn't they be the ones who would be in trouble?
After finally getting rid of the dog emperor's spies and having some peace for a few days, Lin Zili doesn't want to provoke other countries again. She still wants to live a peaceful life.
"Just now, when I was waiting for my master on the street, a man stared at my wrist while shopping, then deliberately bumped into me and quietly gave me this jade token. If I remember correctly, that man was the thin bandit with a pointed mouth who pretended to be a Taoist priest in Li's house. There was another person following him. I have seen him at Li's house. He is a guard of Li's family."
When they visited Li's house at night before, the two guessed from the fragments of words from the Li family that there might be something on Duanwei Mountain. Now it seems that it is true.
What exactly is it that the Li family cares so much about right now?
"It seems that we must go to Duanwei Mountain."
The situation is unclear. Yun Zhiyu is poisoned and cannot use martial arts for a long time. The three of them naturally will not rashly go to Duanwei Mountain.
Yun Yi also notified several secret guards to accompany him. Yun Zhiyu's secret guards were very powerful and could fight one against a hundred, which was enough to deal with those Li family guards.
Lin Zili and Yun Zhiyu thought about it and asked Yun Yi to notify the subordinates and spies of King Yan who were so idle that they couldn't sell wolf skins on the street for half a day.
"Prince, Princess, if anything happens to Li Liu, we may end up in a bad relationship with the King of Yan."
"If we don't inform them, we will really become enemies. As the regent of Heng State, the King of Yan is not a petty person. Go and inform them."
Apart from his unclear private life, Prince Yan's own achievements are still worthy of praise. Moreover, strictly speaking, Li Liu got into trouble because of them. How could they hide the news of his accident from him?
When night fell, the group met at the foot of Duanwei Mountain.
Lin Zili and Yun Zhiyu saw the spies from afar and were about to explain something when one of the spies hurriedly handed a very heavy package to Lin Zili.
"Mrs. Yun, this is Pi Maozi's money."
so much?
Lin Zili was a little surprised.
She didn't know the current prices, but even if they were seasonal items, these wolf skins would only sell for a hundred taels of silver at most, and here they were worth at least five hundred taels.
Are the officials of King Yan so good at making money?
Lin Zili is not good at business, but she can hire people. I wonder if King Yan is willing to give her his beloved subordinates.
No, no, aren’t we going to rescue Li Liu?
Lin Zili quickly retracted his wandering thoughts.
"This is your leader's jade token. That group of bandits came out specifically to pass on the message, asking for help."
Seeing that they were not in a hurry at all, Lin Zili could not help but ask, "You are not worried at all when you see the jade token. This is not your leader's wife's thing. As long as the jade is there, the person is there."
"Oh, the chief often loses the jade token. He is always forgetful. Those words don't count for anything in his case."
Lin Zili was speechless.
The affectionate character suddenly collapsed.
"Besides, we all have a special connection. If the leader dies, we will die too. Since we are fine, the leader is at most injured, but his life is not in danger."
So that's how it is. No wonder these people are so calm.
Lin Zili was interested in this connection between them. If he guessed correctly, it should be Gu. However, he didn't have time to ask now.
Different from other continuous mountain ranges, Duanwei Mountain is just a small hill with low terrain. Many trees cannot grow there. Only some vegetation similar to the tropical rainforest in the previous life grows there. However, even if these plants can produce some miasma, it should not be so thick, let alone poisonous.
Furthermore, even if the overall climate of Ruo Country is warmer, such tropical plants should not appear in the north and cannot be grown at all. Lin Zili suspected that these plants were deliberately transplanted here by someone recently, perhaps to cover up something.
"Don't come near. Let's go and take a look."
"Crown Prince, Crown Princess!"
Before the secret guards could react, Yun Zhili had already put his arms around Lin Zili's waist and flew out.
The two put on gas masks the moment they flew out. The forest was filled with fog, which obstructed the secret guards' vision and prevented them from noticing.
Even if the two of them are not afraid of poison, there is no reason for them to fight it head-on, and they will not neglect any necessary protection.
The two found an open space to stop, squatted down and spread their palms to feel the soil.
"Wencheng is located in the northeast of Ruo Country. Even though it is not as dry as the north, the land should not be so humid. It is humid and warm, and the surface temperature is much higher than usual."
"Is there a hot spring here?"
Lin Zili suddenly thought of a possibility.
However, hot springs are generally distributed in the southeast and south, and are indeed rare in Wencheng area.
Yun Zhiyu felt the ground closely and indeed felt that there was water flowing underground, and it was nearby.
"That's right, the spring should be nearby."
"It's a pity that I don't have time to soak in it now." Lin Zili thought with some regret, "If the hot spring is big enough, it would be nice to open a hot spring villa and make money. I just don't know if this piece of land has an owner."
Lin Zili just said it casually and didn't take it to heart at all, but Yun Zhiyu looked slightly restrained, considering the feasibility of this matter.
Lin Zili studied these short and fat trees carefully again and found that although these trees were similar to the tropical plants in his previous life, they were not the ones he knew in his previous life. These trees should have been cultivated by people in ancient times and had disappeared thousands of years later.
Their roots are not even underground, but exposed on the ground. The roots are not the common brown-gray color, but a strange green, and the leaves are an even greener color.
But one thing is certain, the tree was indeed transplanted recently and is even just a seedling.
A young seedling can emit such a thick miasma. If it grows into a towering tree, no one will be able to get close to it.
There should have been some other plants next to these trees, but now they are all withered and yellow, as if they had lost their vitality.
These trees are not only poisonous, but also steal nutrients from other plants. If they are allowed to multiply on a large scale, they will only affect the people in the end, so they must not be allowed to grow.
"We can't keep these trees. They are very easy to keep alive and are poisonous. I'm afraid the people in the nearby counties will be harmed in the end."
"How to do?"
Although Yun Zhiyu didn't know why these books were linked to harming the people, he believed that Lin Zili would not make a fuss.
It is definitely too late to cut them down one by one, and it is not certain that they can be completely eliminated. The only solution now is to poison these books to prevent future troubles.
