Chapter 1827 Shock

Before Fei Qing led the people to take Chu Huan and his party to a mansion, Chu Huan saw that the mansion was very generous, with high walls and courtyards, guards in front of the gate, and two stone carved kilins squatted in front of the door, which was very majestic. However, Chu Huan could see that these two stone kilins had obviously been released recently, and their foundation was still new. I think the one who had squatted here before was not the stone kilins.

Fei Qing seemed to be quite powerful, but he was unimpeded to enter the royal palace.

When he entered the palace, he only saw the colorful gilded, brilliant, jade pavilion, secluded path, extremely beautiful and luxurious. Chu Huan could also see that these were obviously not long-term decoration, and even the stone slabs on the ground were very particular.

Although Fei Qing arrested Chu Huan and others, he was not too lazy. He was not tied up except for paying the weapons of Chu Huan and others. He walked through two courtyards and entered an archway. It was indeed full of flowers and greenery. There were strange flowers and plants on all sides, with a fragrant smell, which made people feel refreshed.

If it were the case, Chu Huan might have really had a closer look, but at this time he didn't have the intention, just thinking about what Xu Chang sold in his gourd.

However, he was determined to be scheming. If Xu Chang really wanted to attack him, then be patient first and only have a chance to see Xu Chang. Although he didn't know much about Xu Chang, he was confident that with his martial arts, he would use his last resort to capture the king first, capture Xu Chang, and try to escape safely.

Wherever he passed, he was fully armed soldiers every few steps. Xu Chang obviously valued his own safety very much, and he was a heavy guard regardless of inside or outside the palace.

After seeing the green yard with flowers and green flowers, Chu Huan frowned. He saw that there were several guillotines placed in the open space not far ahead. The guillotines were all pulled apart. At this time, it was already dark. There were a circle of soldiers standing in front of him, pressing the sword at his waist with one hand and holding a torch with the other, illuminating it as bright as day. The fire shone on the edge of the guillotine, flashing with a cold and cold light.

Chu Huan and Ximen Yi couldn't help but look at each other, and they were surprised. Looking at this situation, Xu Chang seemed to have really had a murderous intent.

"King Ren, Ximen Yi and his subordinates are all here, no one is missing." Fei Qing went forward and bowed to a figure. At this time, Chu Huan had discovered that a man was wearing a yellow robe, a golden crown, a jade belt around his waist, and was carrying his hands on his back, facing away from here. Chu Huan heard Fei Qing's words and knew that this person should be King Ren Xu Chang.

"Bring it up!" Fei Qing waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately pushed Chu Huan and others forward. Fei Qing said coldly: "You all stand up. If you don't want to die, don't move."

Chu Huan and Ximen Yi looked at each other, and six people stood in line. Ximen Yi and Chu Huan were standing in the middle, Ma Zheng and others separated, while Jinling soldiers stood behind Chu Huan and others, with their spears aimed at the backs of everyone, just a few inches away.

"I heard that you are here, and I will be treated properly and not neglect at all." A low voice came over, which was the voice made by the Jinguan man. "The King of Chu rebelled against Qin, and I admire him very much, so I am very polite to his envoys. No matter what the King of Chu sent you to do, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I will not neglect."

Ximen Yi said lightly: "Since that's the case, I don't know what King Ren means?"

"I don't have many brothers and sisters." King Ren Xu Chang ignored what Ximen Yi said, "The only one left now is only one younger brother. We are from poverty and our parents have gone early. We have always depended on each other and we join the army together, fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, fighting for military merits, and wanting to make a name for ourselves!"

Ximen Yi and others were even more surprised, wondering why Xu Chang talked about family matters.

"Even on the battlefield, my brother was following me. Fortunately, he saved my life several times on the battlefield." Xu Chang said slowly: "So I have made a vow to not only give Xu Yu wealth, but also to keep him safe." At this point, the man slowly turned around. With the light of fire, Chu Huan and others could see clearly that this man was in his forties and looked similar to Xu Yu, the Duke of Liang, who had seen before. However, the edges and corners on this man's face were more prominent, as if he was cut by a knife, hard and cold, showing the man's extremely tenacious will. His eyes were pitch black as ink, cold and bone-bone. When he saw it, his eyes were as sharp as a blade.

Chu Huan felt a little cheerful when he saw this person's appearance. Judging from his appearance, Xu Chang really had the temperament of a hero from the north.

"The brotherly love of King Ren is deeply, which makes people admire him." Ximen Yi saw Xu Chang's cold expression and felt something was wrong, but he still bowed: "At dusk, I also met Duke Liang. The Duke said that King Ren is busy with affairs and cannot be met immediately. He thought it would take one or two days to see King Ren, but he would not be summoned tonight." He glanced at the soldiers around him, swept over the guillotines, and smiled faintly: "I really don't understand what King Ren means?"

"Release up!" Xu Chang did not answer. Facing Ximen Yi, his eyes were like a knife, his hands were carried behind him, and he said coldly.

Soon, four burly soldiers came over with a stretcher. Chu Huan looked carefully and his heart sank, his pupils slightly contracted, but he had already seen that on the stretcher, it was Xu Yu, the Duke of Liang.

It seemed that it was intentional. Four soldiers walked past Chu Huan and others on stretchers. Ximen Yi, Ma Zheng and others also recognized it at this time, and they all changed color.

Chu Huan saw that Xu Yu was still wearing the outfit he went to the inn today, and even the ring on his hand was not taken off. However, he was lying on the stretcher and motionless, his face turned black. Although Xu Yu's skin was a little dark, his skin now looked like charcoal ink. Not only was his skin black, but his face was swollen, and there were even bloodstains on the corners of his mouth.

Chu Huan took a breath of air in his heart, and he could naturally see that Xu Yu was obviously dead, and it seemed that he had been poisoned to death.

Xu Yu only went to the inn at dusk. He has been together for less than two hours. Chu Huan never expected that Xu Yu had become a dead person in this short time.

He had already understood that Xu Chang made great efforts and sent troops to arrest him and his group of people. He also set up the terrifying formation in front of him, which was obviously related to Xu Yu's death.

Xu Chang's blade-like gaze swept across Chu Huan and others, and his eyes finally fell on Ximen Yi and asked, "Ximen Yi, do you recognize the person on the stretcher?"

"Recognize it." Ximen Yi looked solemn, "This is Duke Liang, and it is King Ren's younger brother. Less than two hours ago, I had a tea with Duke in the inn."

Xu Chang smiled coldly and his voice was cold: "Do you know that he left the inn and had not walked across a street before he fell off his horse and died of poisoning."

"This!" Ximen Yi shook his head.

Xu Chang said again: "Do you know that he only said four words before he died!"

"Four words?" Ximen Yi asked, "I would like to give you advice!"

"There is poison in the tea!" Xu Chang sighed, but walked forward, stood on the edge of the stretcher, stretched out a hand, gently stroked Xu Yu's hair for a moment, then looked up and said, "You just said, in the inn, are you and Xu Yu tasting tea together?"

“That’s right.”

Xu Chang sneered: "Tang Qinghe!"

A man immediately turned around and fell to the ground: "The official is here!"

Chu Huan and others recognized that Tang Qinghe was the ritual official who was receiving the envoy. When Duke Liang went to the inn, Tang Qinghe was also accompanied by him.

"What happened at that time, come to be honest." Xu Chang said lightly.

Tang Qinghe shouted: "Report to King Ren, the Duke of Guo was indeed discussing affairs with Ximen Yi in the hall. The Duke of Guo drank tea first, and asked Ximen Yi if the tea here was not in line with his taste."

"What did Ximen Yi say?"

Before Tang Qinghe could speak, Ximen Yi sighed: "I said that Jinling tea is famous all over the world. After arriving in Jinling, I drank a lot!"

"Then do you drink tea?"

Ximen Yi shook his head and said, "It's hard to drink too much tea in your stomach. It's better to drink tea three points. If you drink too much, it's not tea, but beef."

"What a cow drink." Xu Chang laughed, but the laughter was as harsh as a blade. "Ximen Yi is a hero who is a hero who is a hero. Xu Yu is poisoned by drinking tea in the inn. How do you explain?"

Ximen Yi shook his head and said, "I can't explain it, and this matter has nothing to do with us."

Xu Chang snorted coldly and said, "You mean, Xu Yu drinks tea with you, but you haven't touched the drop of water, but Xu Yu died of poisoning. It has nothing to do with you?"

"That's what I mean." Ximen Yi nodded and said, "King Ren should know that although we are in the inn, the inn is the territory of King Ren, and the attendants are all arranged by King Ren. The one who brought tea at that time was the servants of the inn and did not pass through our hands. Not to mention that we would never harm Duke Liang. Even if we really have such evil intentions, how can we have the opportunity to poison? King Ren should start the investigation from the servants in the inn."

"Well said." Xu Chang clapped his hands and said, "Since Chu Huan sent you to be an envoy, your eloquence is naturally excellent. But even if you are iron-toothed and bronze-toothed, I will convince you. I will convince you with reason. Before I send you to the guillotine, I will naturally leave you with nothing to say." He said in a deep voice: "Come!"

A soldier came forward with a tray, with two tea cups placed inside. Xu Chang reached out and picked up two tea cups one after another, and drank half a cup of tea in each tea cup.

At this moment, he heard a cry not far away: "Let me go, let me go!" Chu Huan and others looked in the sound, and saw two soldiers coming over not far away, with a man wearing a white prison jacket. The man was unkempt and seemed to be a prisoner taken out of the prison.

Xu Chang put two cups of tea cups on the tray and waved his hand. The soldier carried the tray and walked towards the prisoner.

"After drinking these two cups of tea, you can let you go." The soldier holding the tray looked at the prisoner coldly. The prisoner had just seen Xu Chang drinking two cups of tea, hesitated for a moment, suddenly reached out, picked up the two cups of tea cups, and drank them in two mouthfuls.

He put the teacup back on the tray and said, "I have drunk it, you guys want to let me go!"

The soldier nodded, and then the two soldiers put away their knives and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't you get out of here."

The prisoner was overwhelmed by surprise. Without saying a word, he raised his legs and ran away. However, before he could run ten steps, he suddenly fell to the ground and struggled and twitched in pain. For a moment, he remained motionless.
