In Liuquan City, there was a lot of voices tonight.

The curfew system has not changed. Ordinary people still have to stay at home and are not allowed to travel.

And those who ran non-stop on the various streets were all from the Neifei Longwei and Liuquan official residences.

About an hour ago, Wu Che, General of the Neifei Dragon Guard, led a crowd to raid a temple on the outskirts of Liuquan City.There, they destroyed a den of bandits disguised as monks who occupied the magpie's nest, seized many weapons such as knives, guns and sticks, and also uncovered several witch doctors who had slipped through the net.

What is more secretive and important is that the underground of the temple is actually "empty".

The foul-smelling underground tunnels extend in all directions like a rat's nest and antholes, and the farthest one extends to the vicinity of the prince's hunting paddock.

The dark passages are filled with all kinds of ghost instruments used for dissecting the human body, and the corpses of those unaccounted for in the witch doctor rebellion on the outskirts of Liuquan City are actually kept "alive" in the dungeon.

The matter is so important that Wu Che dare not act rashly.He immediately sent his cronies back to Chao Capital to report to Qi Yunchu, the Duke of Changqiu who also served as the envoy of the Nei Feilong.At the same time, send people to find out the various entrances and exits of the tunnel, and block them one by one, so that outsiders are not allowed to approach.

And Liuquan Palace was also brightly lit tonight.

In a remote small courtyard in the north of the palace, dozens of tall and powerful inner flying dragon guards were suddenly squeezed in.

Behind the guards stood officials and servants with suspicious faces.

And these people guarded the prince who had just experienced the horror of hunting in the center.

At this moment, no one spoke, and dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at the wing with an open door on the west side of the courtyard.

All the floor tiles in the room were uncovered, revealing a square hidden entrance.

Just now, an Neifeilong guard who followed General Wu Che to a temple in the suburbs pushed away the floor tiles and got out of the hole.

He said that he explored all the way along the underground passage in the temple.

In the majestic Palace of the Ning Dynasty, there are also secret passages for bandits? !It's a joke in the world!

No one dared to look up to see the prince's expression at the moment, but anyone could guess Zhao Yun's mood at the moment.

When was the secret tunnel dug? What is its real purpose? Is there any internal response of the gangsters in Liuquan Palace?

Before the prince asked these questions, a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside the yard.

The servant guarding the gate of the palace came to report urgently——The servant Shaojian and Huangmen servant, who were missing because of chasing the assassin, finally returned.

Forcibly knocking open a house and borrowing an old rough horse——Lu You pushed Tang Ruilang onto the horse with all his strength, while he led the horse and galloped away.

Liuquan City, which was not that big in memory, was frighteningly empty at this moment.Under the darkness of night, the walls of the tall square are continuous, like coffins of unknown origin.

Lu You didn't dare to look at Tang Ruilang's situation, for fear that seeing Tang Ruilang would make him lose all hope.He only tightly grasped Tang Ruilang's hand, telling himself that as long as his hand is still warm, there is still hope for everything.

But at the same time when he saw the gate of Li Palace, Rui Lang's hand started to get cold from the fingertips.

After hearing the news, the eunuchs rushed to carry the palanquin and quickly sent Tang Ruilang to the inner room.Fortunately, the people from Yaowangyuan were treating the wounded in the palace, so they rushed over to check the situation here.

Lu You was invited outside the house by the medical officer, but he refused to go away, and walked around in the yard with the two dogs holding Yun Zhufeng.

It wasn't until a little eunuch he knew brought hot water and a medicine box that he realized that he looked miserable all over.

The stench from the tunnel seemed to still be lingering on his body, but at this moment, all his heart was on Tang Ruilang, so he had no intention of washing himself up.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, only to hear the wooden door squeak, someone finally came out of the room.

Lu You shuddered, and chased after him in two or three steps.

"Swiss... How is the servant of the Huangmen?"

The medical officer pondered for a while: "He has a few stab wounds on his body, but it doesn't matter. There is an arrow wound on his right ankle, which almost cut his hamstring. Although it's dangerous, it's okay. But it's just..."

"But what, just what?"

Lu You sucked in a breath of cold air, his heart was already seven or eight points lost.

The medical officer sighed heavily: "It's just that he seems to have been poisoned by a very dangerous and treacherous poison. At this moment, his heart pulse is disordered and his mind is not clear. If he cannot determine what kind of poison it is, delay Waking up might be life-threatening..."

poison?life threatening!

Lu Humor pressed his chest silently, and after a while, he stammered and said: "Yes, there is a kind of Gu, the whole body is red, with a little golden light. It is about the thickness of a little finger. It was crushed by his fingers. Could it be... "

Seeing that the medical officer immediately changed his expression, he turned around and ran back into the house.Lu You also wanted to follow in, but was turned away for the second time.

"The medical officers from the Yaowang Hospital are here, and there will be no news for a while. My lord, you might as well go back and rest."

I don't know who persuaded him this way for the first time, but Lu You still turned a deaf ear and insisted on sitting outside the door and waiting.

The people who came to visit in the yard came and went one after another.But whether it was the crown prince or King Kang, Lu You had no intention of dealing with it, and just stared at the door that had not been opened for a long time.

In the middle of the night, Wu Che from Neifei Longwei came over and planned to discuss with him the follow-up investigation of the Ghost Rong witch doctor.Coincidentally, at this time, the door of the inner room opened again.

It was the same medical officer who came out, knowing that Lu You would not let her go, so she took the initiative to walk in front of him.

"The worm you just told me is called brocade-eating worm. It is a very famous Gu of Guirong. It usually feeds on the best red Sichuan brocade. Once you put this worm into the ears of others, you can manipulate it. That person's heart, soul, mind, and wisdom are for his own use. I have heard in the past that a wealthy businessman who went to Guirong to do business was planted by this brocade-eating insect, and he gave away his wealth..."

When Lu You heard the words, he suddenly realized.

It turned out to be a Gu worm that manipulated other people's will - the witch doctor originally wanted to plant this worm on him, probably because he took a fancy to his status as a eunuch's servant and wanted the ghost army to infiltrate the palace.

Thanks to the Swiss franc, otherwise everything would be unimaginable!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked again: "But the servant just crushed the brocade worm to death, and never let it enter the ear canal. How could it be poisoned?"

"The juice of Gu worms is originally highly poisonous. The toxin on the waiter's hand penetrated the skin and entered the blood, and spread along the blood to all parts of the body. Therefore, although the poison was delayed for some time, the onset was It's extremely dangerous... Just now, I have used acupuncture and other methods to protect his heart veins, and I believe that his life will be safe within a day or two. But if the delay continues, the limbs will be necrotic, the brain will be damaged, and I'm afraid... "

"A day or two? Only a day or two?!"

Lu You repeated this number reluctantly: "Don't tell me there is no better doctor in the Yaowang Academy of the Ning Dynasty?!"

The medical officer argued: "The Medicine King's Academy usually researches diseases that are common in the Daning Dynasty. I am afraid that the understanding of this poisonous technique in the Western Regions is indeed inferior to that of the border residents in the West. Your Excellency may wish to send someone to the capital again. If there are any Western Region doctors who came to Beijing with the caravan, we may find some way.”

Doctors from the Western Regions... frontier residents in the west?

Lu You turned his eyes to the west in the dark night, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

"General Wu!"

He turned his head and stopped Wu Che, the inner flying dragon guard at the side: "Lead me the fastest horse, I want to go back to Zhaojing!"

Liu Quanzhi went to Zhaojing for more than [-] miles.Lu You rode his horse and swung his whip without resting for a moment, and arrived outside Mingde's gate before dawn.

It was still early at this moment, and the streets of the city were still full of drums.The thick city gates were closed tightly, as if the majesty of the Daning Dynasty was sacred and inviolable.

Lu You didn't care about it, he loudly woke up the defenders, and threw the token of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in front of them.

At the beginning of the fifth watch, on the deserted Suzaku Street, the sound of horseshoes was like a shower, and they were galloping northward all the way.

Still ordering people to open the Suzaku Gate in advance, after entering the imperial city, Lu You tightened the reins and went straight to the Honglu Guest House on the west side.

These days, the head of the Tianwu Palace Medicine Division Master Shi is helping Emperor Huiming to recuperate in the capital.Tianwu Palace and Ghost Rong are facing each other across Yunmeng Marsh, and they have met each other several times in the past, so to deal with those poisonous tricks, there must be some methods unknown to the Central Plains medical officials. Although it is still early, the situation It's critical, but Lu You doesn't care about so many.

He broke into the mansion, found Tianliang Xing's guest house courtyard, slammed the door open, and knelt down in front of the threshold with a big gift.

"I implore Tianliang Xing, follow me to Liuquan City immediately, and rescue Tang Ruilang!"
