Chapter 25
Zhou Xuanqing rushed to the entrance of the cave and looked at the white powder on the ground in disbelief. The surrounding trees had disappeared, leaving only a bare expanse.
"Be careful, the ground is covered with clam bean poison powder. If it sticks to you, it will be the same as last night." After Tang Mitang said this, he silently found a medicine bottle, took out a pill and handed it to Zhou Xuanqing.
"Miss, if you eat it, you can resist this poison." Tang Mitang felt that she really had good intentions! How could the powder on the ground not be touched? Once the wind came, the whole army was wiped out. If Zhou Xuanqing was fine by then, wouldn't it expose her immunity to all poisons?
Zhou Xuanqing raised an eyebrow at her, then stuffed the pill into his mouth. When he bit it open, it turned out to be a candy.
"Hey! If you have such a good medicine, can you give us one each?" Song Henian was dissatisfied that only Zhou Xuanqing was given the Tangmi Candy. Such a treasure should be shared.
"I'm sorry, this medicine is difficult to make. I won't take it. I'll only give it to the lady." Tang Mitang replied indifferently, then took out a piece of white cloth to wrap his face, and then put his hands into his sleeves.
Although she could get rid of it, she didn't want to have a rash all over her face, which would be too ugly.
"Oh~ why didn't you say so earlier..." Song Henian was satisfied. What could be more important than the emperor?
Following Tang Mitang's actions, he took off his coat to cover his head, then followed her on tiptoe into the cave.
Zhou Xuanqing glanced at the people bandaging each other in the cave and pursed his lips.
Tang Mitang took out a lot of medicine from the package and gave it to them. Then he looked towards the cave that was emitting a pungent smell and found the cloth bag on the ground. He turned it over and took a look. Then he smelled it, stood up silently, and shrank behind Zhou Xuanqing.
Zhou Xuanqing was looking at the five people who were left behind, all of whom were wrapped tightly.
"Xuan Yi and Xuan Er cut their tendons, pulled them out, and threw them into the ashes."
Zhou Xuanqing's voice was cold and clear, and it echoed in the huge cave. In the eyes of those people, it became a devilish sound that was taking lives.
Xuan Yi and Xuan Er moved very skillfully and in no time they threw the man, who was only wearing pants, into the white ash.
Several people were visibly suffering from rashes. Some had their tendons in their hands and feet cut and were struggling on the ground in pain. The more they struggled, the faster the rashes appeared.
"Miss, those are poppy powder." Tang Mitang said silently in Zhou Xuanqing's ear.
Zhou Xuanqing was startled, a chill running down his spine. The Great Zhou Dynasty had clearly prohibited the production of these disgusting poisons, yet there were still people doing it on such a large scale.
"What? Poppy powder?" Zhou Erlan shouted in shock.
He had vaguely heard of this name when he was a child. It was because of this medicine that Cheng Zhanying used it to cause the generals to become addicted and plot rebellion.
"Yes, it's that opium. The addictive poison that Cheng Zhanying used when he was rebelling." Lu Di said, feeling a little cold. He was about to touch his beard, but then he remembered the clam powder and finally gave up.
"Royal sister." Zhou Erlan held Zhou Xuanqing's hand with some concern. The imperial sister, who was two years older than him, had witnessed with her own eyes the soldiers killing each other and the overthrow of the country.
Moreover, the imperial sister has a reputation for being vicious and bloodthirsty because she killed ten thousand people who were unable to resist poison and committed evil as soon as she came to power.
This time, poppies have appeared again, and it may be difficult to deal with them.
Tang Mitang doesn’t remember any drugs appearing in “The King’s Ascension”. It’s obviously a very positive book, so why does it contain so many hidden clues?
Tang Mitang turned around and suddenly saw Cheng Zhixuan's almost perverted smile. Her hair stood on end and her back felt cold.
Why should I look back! If I didn't look back, I wouldn't be able to look at Cheng Zhixuan!
Cheng Zhixuan looked at Tang Mitang and suddenly turned around. He smiled at her, revealing his white teeth. He gently put his fingers on his lips and made a gesture to shut up.
Tang Mitang blinked, swallowed, and turned his head stiffly.
Oh my God...how scary!
"I'm fine." Zhou Xuanqing said, took a look at the cave, and strode out.
"Come here, take them back to the death row and call General Lu."
After Zhou Xuanqing finished speaking in the open space, several men in black appeared and took away the five people on the ground.
"Xuan Yi, go to Anfu City now to mobilize troops and search the mountains." After Zhou Xuanqing finished speaking, he threw the seal in his hand to Xuan Yi, who caught it and dodged away.
"Tang Mitang is now researching the antidote for clam poison. If you have anything to say, please tell Song Henian." After Zhou Xuanqing finished speaking, he patted Tang Mitang's arm.
Tang Mitang had just recovered from Cheng Zhixuan's expression, nodded quickly, and ran towards a small tree.
Seeing Tang Mitang running away, Cheng Zhixuan knew that most of Zhou Xuanqing's secret guards had been transferred away. He came up with an idea and looked towards Tang Mitang, where he saw quite a few trees.
"Your Highness, I'll go help her." After Cheng Zhixuan said that, he walked towards Tang Mitang.
"Royal sister, what can I do?" Seeing that everyone had something to do, Zhou Erlan looked at Zhou Xuanqing in confusion.
"Like Lu Di, check if there are any other traps in the cave. There's clam bean poison everywhere. This shouldn't be the place to deal with it next."
After Zhou Xuanqing finished speaking, Zhou Erlan nodded and walked into the cave. Mu Tou followed closely behind him.
Zhou Xuanqing stood outside and looked at the cave, his brain constantly working.
There are still remnants of the Cheng family. If I hadn't had the urge to head north, when would these filthy things have been discovered?
This patch of trees must have been poisoned and turned into dust. It took at least two or three years for it to be hidden so deep.
The key point is that they actually moved. Not many people knew that she was going this way, so there must be a thief among their group.
Zhou Xuanqing closed his eyes and stroked the needle. After confirming who it was, he opened his eyes, and his amber pupils were dark.
Tang Mitang saw Cheng Zhixuan walking towards her and silently moved.
"Miss Tang, do you need help?" Cheng Zhixuan squatted in front of Tang Midang and said.
"No need." Tang Mitang tried not to be afraid and replied with his head down.
"But I need Miss Tang's help!" Cheng Zhixuan said with a bright smile, and took out a fire starter from his sleeve.
Tang Mitang was so scared that he shrank his neck and sat down on the ground.
Seeing her fear, Cheng Zhixuan's eyes flashed with a morbid joy, and he said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, pretty girl~ You just need to be quiet~"
Tang Mitang nodded, she was quiet, she kept her mouth shut.
Cheng Zhixuan's appearance reminded her of the sickly man who came to the hospital to cause trouble, grabbing the eyeballs that he had pulled out from somewhere and insisting on replacing them with his wife's.
