Chapter 173: The principle of survival, stay neutral

Xiao Bi and Huan Yu both learned how to identify poisons. Although they were not familiar with "Tianmu Tears", they had heard of its name.

It is said that this poison is colorless and odorless. After being poisoned, people will not die immediately, but will make people become more and more haggard day by day. When they die, they will look haggard and almost inhuman shape.

How much hatred must there be for a woman to do such a cruel thing to another woman, and a pregnant woman at that?!

Lord Chunyu smiled sadly: "Now you should know why I use the word fear to describe Princess Xiangdong.

Once she decides on something, she is willing to pay no matter what the price is.

Tears of the Heavenly Eyes were a poison that had been lost for hundreds of years, and she was able to find it.

I ask myself that I have never done anything sorry to others in my life, but my wife and daughter suffered such pain for no reason."

The two of them didn't know how to comfort him, and they both felt very uncomfortable.

Although the city lord did not say it clearly, his wife suffered such a catastrophe, how could the fetus in her belly survive?

The pain that Miss Chunyu suffered must not be as simple as the premature death of her biological mother.

Huan Yu frowned and said, "What kind of person is this Xiangdong Princess? Is it true that she can do anything in heaven or on earth?"

City Lord Chunyu smiled bitterly and said: "For her, heaven and earth are all important to her. I once heard that Queen Chu of Emperor Qingde of Jin Kingdom was proficient in medical skills, especially good at curing all kinds of strange poisons.

But she has already been hacked to death by Emperor Ji'an, where else can I go to ask someone to help my wife detoxify her?"

Xiao Bi said angrily: "Where is Princess Xiangdong now? It makes me feel sick if such a scumbag lives one more day in the world!"

City Lord Chunyu said: "Emperor Ji'an has been on the throne for more than 20 years, and the battles between her and the princes have never stopped.

You all know the situation in the Kingdom of Jin. The status of women is far inferior to that of the Kingdom of Wei, let alone Ruoshui City.

Although Princess Xiangdong is powerful, she always suffers a lot when competing for power with her royal brothers.

Take her fiefdom as an example, its size and population are similar to those of the princes, but its location is more remote."

Xiao Bi sneered and said, "I've only heard of princes becoming feudal lords, but when we came to her place, a princess came to join the feudal clan?

I don’t know how her prince-in-law survived the past ten years or so.

If you live in the same mansion with such a scumbag, you won't be afraid of being killed by her in your sleep one day."

The corners of Chunyu City Lord's mouth twitched slightly: "To be honest with the princess, his consort married her and they broke up less than half a year ago."

Xiao Bi choked.

Really killed?

When did my mouth become so poisonous?

But the experience of that prince-in-law was so miserable. If he hadn't married that scumbag as his wife, he would still be living well now.

Huan Yu coughed lightly: "City Lord, I heard Brother Li say before that you know who kidnapped those boys.

I might as well make a bold guess as to whether the murderer is the Princess of Xiangdong?"

Xiao Bi was so angry that she almost died.

Scum is not enough to describe that woman.

Behind thousands of boys are thousands of families, thousands of parents.

She can actually do it!

City Lord Chunyu said: "Whether the boys were tied up by her, I can only guess, but the dog is indeed in her hands.

She sent me a letter yesterday, asking me to exchange a large amount of supplies for Fei'er.

I think you two have also noticed that the weapons of Ruoshui City are very good and cannot be compared with the weapons of Jin State.

So the supplies she wants include not only a large amount of food and cloth, but also 10,000 daggers and 10,000 small hand crossbows."

Xiao Bi's eyes lit up: "No wonder the city lord thinks that the boys are in her hands. With ten thousand daggers and ten thousand small hand crossbows, she plans to cultivate a group of killers!"

Huan Yu clenched his fist: "The youngest of those boys is only three years old, and the oldest is only six or seven years old, which is the best age for practicing martial arts.

This woman is not young anymore. It will take at least ten years before these boys can take charge of themselves.

She is really patient, isn't she afraid that after military training, she won't be able to endure it?"

Xiao Bi glanced at him, it turned out that Brother Huan had a really poisonous mouth, he didn't even use curse words when he cursed!

Lord Chunyu said: "The strength of Ruoshui City is not enough to deal with Jin State, but it is still no problem to deal with Princess Xiangdong.

It's just that this involves a large number of boys from Wei and Li, so it's really inconvenient for me to get involved.

So I heard from Lu Sheng that there are distinguished guests from Wei State in the house, so I asked him to invite you here. You two won’t mind, right?"

Xiao Bi and Huan Yu looked at each other.

I wonder if the two of them were used as a weapon by this old fox?

What speculation was there? He clearly knew the whereabouts of those boys.

The reason why he didn't immediately lead people to the rescue was because of his survival principle of maintaining neutrality.

He didn't want to offend any of the three kingdoms of Wei, Jin, and Li, and he didn't want to please anyone.

Therefore, the task of rescuing the missing boy can only fall on the two of them.

Xiao Bi couldn't help but be a little curious: "City Lord, if the two of us had not come to Yiyang County, what would you have planned to do about this matter?"

City Lord Chunyu laughed and said: "With so many missing boys, both Wei and Lijin will definitely take them very seriously.

If you don't come, sooner or later people from Li and Jin will come.

Although the three counties of Yiyang, Guangling and Lujiang are far away from Wei Jing, it won't take a few days for the Wei emperor's people to arrive.

Since you two were the first to arrive, this matter can only fall on you."

Xiao Bi clasped her fists: "I'm really convinced, but since you want us to do this, you have to buy us some handy weapons.

Also, get us some food, I just ate a steamed bun last night, and I still haven’t eaten a bite of food today.”

City Lord Chunyu really liked her character and said with a smile: "Princess, please don't worry, I will arrange everything properly.

You two will rest in the mansion for one night today and set off for Jin Kingdom early tomorrow morning."

After lunch, Xiao Bi, Huan Yu and others were arranged to a courtyard called "Lotus Root".

This place is completely different from the small courtyard of Mr. Li's house. It has beautiful scenery, is spacious and comfortable.

Qingzhao and others went to settle down, while Xiao Bi and Huan Yu walked into the pavilion by the lake.

Looking at the green lotus blossoms in the middle of the lake, Xiao Bi sighed: "I thought that the disappearance of the boy was only related to the disfigured man, but I didn't expect that there were so many things involved."

Huan Yu smiled and said: "I still feel that this matter has something to do with the disfigured man.

Princess Xiangdong's ambitions are great, so are those of Liuyun Kingdom, and his ambitions are equally great.

If three ambitious guys get together, I don't know what they can do to the world!"

Xiao Bi turned her head and looked at him: "Brother Huan, what did you find in Mr. Li's study last night?"

Huan Yu raised his eyebrows: "Then what else did Xiaojiu find in his pharmacy?"

Xiao Bi smiled and said, "So you saw me last night?"
