Chapter 697 - duped darknorth swords
He reached out a finger and knocked on the table.
“Since it’s not her, I’m afraid it’s someone else.”
“Who is it?”
“Someone from the royal family.” Xiao ran said.
“This … This is too cruel, isn’t it?” Little Zhou was dumbfounded.
“At this stage, as long as we can defeat the opponent and pull him down, we can do anything.” Jiang Chen said.
He asked in return.
“What’s the situation with the ninth Prince?”
Xiao Zhou said,”the entire residence is busy with the wedding. They are all smiling like flowers. On the way here, I even saw their people buying a batch of things. They were so happy. They were even happier than picking up silver.”
“Brother Xiao, do you suspect that it was him?”
“Yes.” Xiao ran did not hide anything.
“He suffered such a great loss yesterday. The team that proposed the marriage was wiped out, and no one was alive. Even the eldest son of the cui family, cui Xiuxin, the genius swordsman, was killed, including his trusted think tank. Logically speaking, the rat plague should be his doing.”
“He’s busy with the marriage now. Even if he wants to do it, he’ll have to wait until after the marriage, not now.” Little Zhou said.
“That is one of the suspicious points. The second point is that there are other princes hiding in the dark. Since the ninth Prince attacked him, there must be a lot of spies around him. Their every move is being monitored by them. If they make any moves, it will be unwise. Once this matter is exposed, those imperial censors will be able to make him suffer.” Xiao ran shook his head.
He asked again.
“What is the Imperial court’s reaction now?”
“A bunch of grandsons. The fire won’t touch them anyway, and they’re all well protected. No matter how terrifying the rat plague is, what does it have to do with them?” Little Zhou cursed indignantly.
“What about Lord Fu?” Xiao ran asked.
“I didn’t go. I don’t know what happened.”
“Go! Let’s go out and take a look. ” Xiao ran said.
Xiao Zhou hurriedly followed him out of the room.
He walked towards the Vermilion Bird Market.
The streets had been cordoned off, and anyone who was not a member of the Vermillion Bird Market was forbidden from entering or leaving.
With the ornamental River as the center, there was a team of soldiers stationed here to block the outsiders from coming in.
Seeing that Xiao ran and Xiao Zhou had arrived, and that Xiao Zhou was still wearing his silver sword robe, the leader of the team hurriedly saluted them.”Are the two of you going out?”
“To the divine sword guards.” Xiao ran said.
“My Lord, please be careful. They have all been infected by the rat plague, and the infection is very strong. If they go out, use your spiritual power to protect your body and block the poison outside.” The captain reminded him kindly.
“Yes.” Xiao ran responded.
After crossing the bridge.
The eyes of the surrounding commoners brightened when they saw them coming, especially the leader of the group, who treated them with respect. They were filled with excitement as they rushed over and surrounded Xiao ran and his partner.
Plop!
It was unknown who the leader was, but he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging,”Sir, save me!”
It was a simple sentence, but it contained too much. There was helplessness, fear, and the fear of death.
He looked at them.
Xiao ran observed them carefully. Their faces turned black, and the poisonous gas spread out from the top of their heads, corroding their life force bit by bit.
It was fine for a short period of time, but as time passed, they could still hold on. As long as they found an effective way to get rid of it in time, they would not suffer too much damage.
If he delayed for too long, his life force would be corroded too much. Even if he could be cured, there would be huge residual effects.
“Brother Xiao …”
Xiao Zhou wanted to say something, but Xiao ran shook his head at him.”Go get a bucket of water.”
“Now?”
“Yes.”
“Alright! Give me a moment, I’ll be there in a minute. ” Xiao Zhou left quickly.
One moment, he was carrying two buckets. He ran back quickly and placed the buckets on the ground.
Xiao ran took out the seven Star detoxification pill and soaked it in the two wooden buckets. Then, he kept it.
Back in Chen County, Xiao ran had used this method to detoxify the people who were poisoned.
Moreover …
The rat plague wasn’t too deep in their bodies, and the seven-star antidote pill was enough to cure them.
“If each person drinks a mouthful of water, the poison of the rat plague will be cured.” Xiao ran said.
“Thank you, Your Excellency!” The people were grateful.
Following Xiao ran’s instructions, they each took a spoonful of water and swallowed it. The effects of soaking in the seven-star antidotes took effect and expelled the poison from their bodies.
15 minutes later.
The rat plague in all the people had been cured.
Without waiting for them to kneel on the ground and thank him, Xiao ran took the initiative to say,”hurry up and go home. Don’t go out for the time being.”
“Thank you, my Lord, for saving my life!” The commoners knelt down to thank him again before leaving.
“Let’s go,”he said. Xiao ran called out.
“Brother Xiao, is this the kind of elixir you used in Chen County?”
Bang! Bang!
Xiao ran knocked him on the head.”You have a good memory.”
Compared to the past, the streets were much more deserted. Usually, there would be people everywhere and it was very lively. There were even hawkers setting up stalls on the roadside.
There was not even a shadow to be seen now.
He continued walking towards the divine sword guards.
At the same time.
Cui zhangyun took care of the rat plague and brought the cui family to his hometown in long An County.
The matters here had been settled, and the rest would depend on how the family did.
It shouldn’t be a problem. After all, cui Lao was in charge of the surrounding County cities and the other properties of the princes. He should be done.
On the official road.
It was a young man with a very demonic appearance. There was a demonic blood pattern on the left side of his face, as if it had appeared naturally.
