Dare to lose the country and live up to the emperor II

"What did you find?" Gongsun Mingyue was curious.

"The entrance to the underground palace."

"Underground Palace?"

"It's the place where you used to stay. There is a strong fragrance of flowers there. When we entered, we suddenly felt that the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and the seasons are like spring." Zhan Pei said in a daze.

"Ning Xiangzi?" Gongsun Mingyue stood up, and everything seemed to make sense.

But soon he felt something was wrong: "Since you have been fascinated by Ning Xiangzi, how did you get out?"

Zhan Pei said with a sly look in his eyes, "It's all Suzaku, he brought us out."

"Why wasn't he poisoned?" Gongsun Mingyue asked suspiciously.

"In his own words, he held his breath when he found the scent of flowers was strange, so he was not fascinated by the scent of flowers." Zhan Pei's tone obviously did not believe this explanation at all.

Since many people don't believe it, Ponce certainly doesn't believe it either.

Pang Ce stared into Suzaku's eyes and said, "Who would believe such a statement?"

Suzaku smiled and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from the general." He took out a red purse from his sleeve and said, "I think the reason why I didn't get poisoned is because of this purse, it was given to me by my sister-in-law before she died. "

"You mean this is your brother Zhu Ding's?" Pang Ce took the purse and saw that there was nothing special about it.

"Yes," Suzaku's eyes dimmed, "My brother built the Liming Hall for Nan Xia, but Li Binghao and Zhuge Yan designed to kill him, the reason is simply because my brother didn't want to do those evil things. Just cruel..."

Pon Ce returned the purse to him without saying a word.

"These methods of Limingtang were all told to me by my brother when he was still alive. This purse was left to me by my sister-in-law who tried her best to protect it. My sister-in-law said it could save my life in times of crisis, so I always Bring them all with you." With tears in Suzaku's eyes, he took the purse and gently opened it.

There are some things like grass seeds in the purse, which are black and don't seem to have any special smell.

"What is this?" Yang You looked at the grass seeds in Suzaku's hand.

"It's the seed of Ningxiangzi." The voice of Gongsun Mingyue outside arrived at the same time as the figure.

"Master Gongsun, how do you know it's the seed of Ningxiangzi?" Yang You looked at Gongsun Mingyue suspiciously.

Gongsun Mingyue walked up to Suzaku with a smile, picked up one of the small seeds and said, "It's very simple, although Ningxiangzi is not a highly poisonous thing, but because of its special effect, it is very, very difficult to feed it, and even if it is fed The output is also very, very rare, only those princes and ministers will occasionally use it to adjust the taste of life. People who are poisoned by the incense will not die, but will indulge in their own fantasies when they smell the fragrance of this flower , but once you get rid of this flower fragrance, people will gradually wake up, so generally there is no need for an antidote.”

"Then why isn't Suzaku poisoned like us?" Yang You continued to ask.

Gongsun Mingyue picked up a seed in her hand and said: "That's the reason, the poison of Ningxiangzi in his body, as long as he puts a pack of Ningxiangzi seeds in his bosom, the poisonous gas emitted by the fragrance of flowers will not have an effect on him."

Gongsun Mingyue put the seed in Suzaku's hand, and asked with a smile, "General Zhu, am I right?"

"Master Gongsun is really knowledgeable, and he can know such things!" Suzaku put away the seeds and continued, "I didn't know what it was until I met my master, and he told me that it was the seed of Ningxiangzi , can resist Ningxiangzi's infringement on people."

"General Suzaku is already so powerful, I think your master must be even more powerful?" Zhan Pei smiled and walked to his side and said, "Who does General Suzaku learn from?"

"No one is worth mentioning."

Zhan Pei wanted to ask something else, but was interrupted by Pon Ce.

"Since this seed can resist the poison of Ningxiangzi, Suzaku, you are in charge of advancing to the underground palace, then collect more of these seeds, and bring them back to share with everyone," Pang Ce said.

"Yes, General. My master has some seeds like this. I'll go find him."

After Suzaku finished speaking, she left the study room with Yang You.

"General Pang Da, what did your subordinate do with you?" Zhan Pei asked curiously looking at Suzaku's back.

"Shaoxia Zhan is interested in him?" Pang Ce said with a smile.

"I'm really interested in him. I wonder if General Pang can tell me about him?" Zhan Pei's eyes curled up, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes.

"Since you are interested in him, you can ask yourself." Ponce laughed.

"What's interesting? It's called interest. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." Zhan Pei's face darkened, and he said unhappily.

"Is there a difference?" Pang Ce looked at Gongsun Mingyue, but he avoided his gaze.

Ever since thinking about the past with him, Gongsun Mingyue felt that she could no longer get along with him alone, otherwise he was really afraid that if she was not careful, she would show her affection for him...

"Zhan Pei, let's go." Gongsun Mingyue bowed his head and said to Zhan Pei.

"Master Gongsun, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Pang Ce walked up to him and looked at him straight. There was something wrong with him today.

"If you don't leave, will you tell us?" Zhan Pei glanced at him.

"It's okay to say it, but I don't know if Zhan Shaoxia wants to hear it alone, or if adults want to hear it too?"

Gongsun Mingyue looked up at him in embarrassment, and forced a smile from the corner of her mouth: "The main reason is that Zhan Pei is more interested."

"Brother Gongsun." Zhan Pei called out hastily, "What am I more interested in?"

"Oh, okay, okay, I'm interested too, I'll listen to it with you, let's listen together." Gongsun Mingyue was afraid that Zhan Pei would say everything in a hurry, so he hurriedly greeted him.

"It's more or less the same." Zhan Pei turned around and said with an indifferent attitude, "General Pang, we are all listening, you can just say it."

Pon Ce looked at the two people in front of him and smiled. It was funny that he wanted to hide this trick from himself.

Pang Ce put his hands behind his back and walked up in the study: "Suzaku only joined me five years ago. At that time, he was very down-and-out. He usually made some money by solving small troubles for others, but after returning to Feiyunqi with me, He has been very attentive and has helped me solve a lot of problems.”

"Do you know that his brother is the founder of Limingtang?" Gongsun Mingyue asked.

"I know, he already told me when he came, otherwise I wouldn't let him go to Qianguo to inquire about the situation this time."

"General Pang has been at the border for many years, have you heard of Zhu Ding?" Zhan Pei asked.

"Never heard of it."

"That's strange. Zhan Pei has been in the Jianghu for many years, but he has never heard of this name in the Jianghu." Zhan Pei said, "It is said that someone like this who can help Li Mingtang summon many masters will definitely be known in the Jianghu. Yes, but..."

"I don't know about Jianghu, but I can be sure that Suzaku didn't lie to me, because I sent someone to verify his words."

"Really?" Gongsun Mingyue sneered, "If you don't tell me about some things, outsiders will never know."

"Lord Gongsun, where do you say that?" Pang Ce asked, "Could it be that your lord has secrets that you don't want outsiders to know?"

Gongsun Mingyue looked at him with a complicated look in his eyes. There were too many things he couldn't understand, and he was startled. This was something he was familiar with, and his heart ached when he saw it.

"Zhan Pei, let's go." Gongsun Mingyue turned around and took Zhan Pei away, leaving Pang Ce standing there thinking.

……

Suzaku's efficiency was very fast, and he brought back the seeds of Ningxiangzi in just half a day. Pang Ce decided to go in the afternoon, and he asked Yang You to ask Gongsun Mingyue's opinion.

How could Gongsun Mingyue give up such a good opportunity, he decided that even if the underground palace was a dragon's lake and a tiger's den, he would go for it.

The entrance of the underground palace is not mysterious. Gongsun Mingyue stood at the entrance, thinking about what would happen next. Pang Ce came to him and said with a smile, "I'll go ahead, you go behind."

It was these words again, and it was the same unknown situation again. Gongsun Mingyue didn't speak this time, and he followed Pon Ce obediently.

The underground palace was a little damp, and there was still the sound of dripping water. Although there were torches, everyone walked forward cautiously.

Gongsun Mingyue looked at everything in front of her, it was so strange, as if she had never been here before.

It is said that the underground palace is actually not big. There are several small rooms that are separated, some of which are like bedrooms, with beds and quilts inside, and there are a few small rooms that have nothing in them, only left in the corner of the room. A pile of snake skin, presumably all those poisonous snakes were raised here.

Gongsun Mingyue searched for his familiar aura in the room, walked through one after another, and suddenly stopped in front of a room, because something in the room attracted him, a censer for burning incense.

At this time, there was no more incense ash in the incense burner, but the faint smell that remained was exactly the same as the smell when he woke up that day. He could be sure that he slept here at the beginning.

He looked at the room carefully. There were not many quilts on the plank bed, and there was a small brazier under the incense burner desk. He squatted down and put his hands on the brazier. Judging from the burnt carbon ashes, this brazier was once lit.

"What did you find?" Pon Ce quietly stood behind him. Gongsun Mingyue was probably too focused. He was really shocked by Pon Ce's sudden question. When he stood up, his feet were unsteady and he fell into Pon Ce Ce's arms.

Pang Ce helped Gongsun Mingyue, and neither of them spoke until Zhan Pei's arrival.

"Brother Gongsun, did you find anything?" Zhan Pei didn't notice the abnormality of the two of them, and he only cared about the clues.

Gongsun Mingyue walked up to Zhan Pei and said, "This is the room I lived in before." Then he pulled Zhan Pei to look at the brazier under the table, "I think the reason why I felt the room was as warm as spring at first was because Because of this brazier."

"But why did they treat you so well? They even gave you a brazier." Zhan Pei asked strangely.

"Oh, I don't know either."

"General, general, come quickly!" The sudden shout of someone outside attracted the three of them.
