Chapter 723 Reason
After not seeing each other for half a year, Tang Qingyuan's current appearance scared Shen Hao. Is this still Lord Tang who used to shock Licheng's majesty?
There was almost no blood on his face, and his eyes were sunken, his cheeks were also very inlaid, his head was gray and his forehead was covered with wrinkles. Just looking at his face, you can tell that Tang Qingyuan had lost a lot of weight, and he looked at least twenty years older than half a year ago.
The most intuitive thing about the strength of a monk is to react on the body. Even though most monks in the Jingji Dynasty did not specialize in physical cultivation, their body was still far stronger than ordinary people. After the state of the concentration of the gods, they age extremely slowly and can ignore most of the diseases in the world.
What's wrong with Tang Qingyuan?
Shen Hao pushed the door open, and the eldest son of the Tang family brought him a chair and sat down. Then everyone else in the room consciously retreated. Tang Qingyuan even ordered his family to spread a cover array to cover the bedroom.
"I haven't seen you for half a year, why have you changed?" Although Shen Hao was joking in his words, there was no smile on his face, because he could sense that the aura on Tang Qingyuan's body was very messy, and even his cultivation seemed to have dropped a lot compared to before. Now he is afraid that he only has the fifth and sixth level of the God-Concentration Realm?! Tang Qingyuan was originally a master at the eighth level of the God-Concentration Realm!
Regressing cultivation?!
This is not as simple as "get sick". The cultivation of monks is their core foundation. Unless they are seriously injured by the damaged foundation, or if they fail to make a breakthrough, it is extremely difficult to reverse.
"Haha, I've just gone wherever I go. If you wait for half a year, you might get more, and your hair is bald. After all, I'm already very old... and my cultivation level will not be stable until my life is over. I'll probably have to be buried in one or two years."
Tang Qingyuan's voice was very weak. He obviously wanted to laugh, but it seemed like it was very difficult to even pull his mouth. He had to breathe a sigh of relief when he was halfway through, and then he said the next half of the sentence.
Shen Hao frowned even deeper, and it was possible that Tang Qingyuan himself knew his situation and had expected the worst possible situation. His cultivation level declined. With Tang Qingyuan's age, as long as he slipped into the God Realm, he would die his life.
"Is it hurt?"
"It's poison. A elixir that cannot be explained clearly. After half a year of poisoning, I tried my best to do it. Without any complexion, my true energy was dissipating at all times, and I couldn't hold my energy anymore. Moreover, my sea of consciousness became increasingly dull, and my soul showed signs of a fixed-line speech. Several alchemists and doctors who have visited said that they were basically unable to turn things around."
Poison? There are also elixirs in the world that can damage the foundation of cultivators' cultivation?!
Shen Hao then asked, "You usually live in a thousand households, so how could you get into such trouble? Who would have given you such a strange poison?"
"Have a muddle?" Tang Qingyuan rolled his eyes, glanced at his mouth and said, "If you really want to live a muddle, you won't be like this. You're still careless and unprepared."
"Is it inconvenient to say why? I heard before that you were still investigating the case where I was assassinated last time and had a conflict with Kuang Shengyuan. Could it be because of this case?"
"Haha, do you ask if this is to save me or to avenge me?" Tang Qingyuan's eyes fainted and looked at Shen Hao.
"The relationship between you and me is no different. I can't do anything that I don't save you. I can't save you clearly, but I must try it. If you can't save it, it's not impossible to help you revenge, but it depends on whether I can deal with it." Shen Hao didn't say a false statement, and he said it very realistically, and did not say anything big to Tang Qingyuan.
Tang Qingyuan seemed to laugh even happier when he heard this and said, "Just save me, so many doctors are helpless. What can you do? There is something on the table over there and you can take a look, it can be considered as a reminder for you and I to get to know each other."
In fact, it was already very happy that Shen Hao could come here in person today. Now that he is waiting to die at home, the world is cold and cold. It is rare for Shen Hao to be at its peak and not forget his old age. As for other things, Tang Qingyuan is not in a hurry to speak now. It would be better to ask Shen Hao when he really wants to let go. It's nothing more than taking care of the children of the Tang family. I think Shen Hao will not refuse.
Shen Hao stood up and took a copper bar on the table next to him that Tang Qingyuan said. When he got it, he actually needed his waist card and soul fluctuations to open it. This was the usual protection for the secret orders in Xuanqingwei.
After unfolding, after looking at a few rows, Shen Hao raised his head and looked at Tang Qingyuan and said, "Are you sure the person who died in the jail of the yamen was King Jing's inner guard?"
"Well. Although the man died in the prison of the local yamen, the body was left behind. I asked someone to make a mud statue according to the appearance of the body, and recorded all the traces on the body that could be regarded as characteristics, and then asked someone to go to the imperial city to investigate.
It's also good luck. I used to have a friend who is in charge of the list in the local government office of the Imperial City, and has helped a lot.
The royal inner guards were also selected by the army, and they were all trained since childhood. Although these people did not have documents stored in the local yamen after entering the internal yamen training, they would first join the army before entering the internal yamen. After joining the army, their families would involve the reduction of money, grain and taxes. These all require the local yamen to handle, so some clues will be left behind.
Combined with the age of the corpse and its appearance, one city after another can always find a matching list when checking the documents from each city.”
This is a very stupid method. It is so stupid that if Shen Hao didn't turn it carefully for a few more times in his mind, he wouldn't have thought that he could check people like this. Because there were too many and too little, he spent a lot of time not to say it, and it was easy to miss it, which led to nothing in the end. After all, the royal guard was very young, and the corpse was obviously not young. The time gap between the two sides easily made it difficult to distinguish the appearance.
"So I'm still very lucky, otherwise I will definitely not be able to find someone." Tang Qingyuan sighed, and then said: "Later, I reported the news to Kuang Shengyuan and hoped that he could report to Lord Jiang. Because it was involved in King Jing, it was related to the important case of assassinating Xuan Qingwei. But Kuang Shengyuan wanted to suppress the news and said that the situation is now chaotic and it is not appropriate to involve Xuan Qingwei in the royal family's "big test". He said that he would wait until the situation stabilizes in the future.
I had a fight with him about this and then got caught by him.
As a result, my anger was not calmed down. I went to the restaurant for a drink, haha, and I was poisoned. Moreover, the poison was strange. I realized that it was useless to hire many doctors three days later. I didn’t dare to say anything. I was worried that the other party would take my life directly when I saw that I was unwilling to do anything. So I survived until today.”
Shen Hao nodded. He thought that the main reason why the other party did not kill Tang Qingyuan directly was that he did not want to add another Xuanqingwei deputy Qianhu's life to cause trouble. It is safest to poison and die slowly.
Shen Hao closed the copper strip, looked at Tang Qingyuan with a dead face and said, "If it were just poisoned, maybe I could really save your life."
