Qin Chuan waved his hands and said, "What are you all doing here? Are you itching for a beating? Go back and do whatever you need to do. "
Immediately, everyone from the Ministry of War dispersed.
The empress was just next door and was obviously on the verge of flying into a rage. At this moment, no one was willing to provoke her and all of them hid as far as they could.
In fact, when the empress came over, she wasn't just one or two people. Along the way, many people were apprehensive about what had happened to make the empress so furious and hurriedly followed behind her. However, when they saw Tong Zhenye being beaten up so badly, they immediately hid as far as they could.
Only Qin Chuan, who had a poor sense of aura, didn't notice the empress.
When Tong Zhenye returned to the courtyard, there was a group of trembling doctors and apprentices from the clinic.
There were also some people standing on the walls or rooftops watching from afar. They were all high-ranking officials from various departments.
"Tell me, how did this happen?" The empress stood in front of the door of the clinic. The surrounding aura plummeted and the air seemed to be frozen. Everyone could feel the bone-piercing chill.
Just now, the empress had already gone in to take a look. The most serious injury on Ren Baqian's body was penetrated through his waist. Even though he wouldn't die for the time being, there was a very troublesome matter, and that was the poison on the crossbow arrow.
Even though the poison wasn't immediately fatal, it was more troublesome than that.
This made her even more furious. If she knew who did it, even if it was in Great Xia's palace, she would immediately kill them.
"Your Majesty, Deputy Prefect Ren was assassinated when he was about 200 steps away from the Ministry of Works. It was obvious that the other party was well-prepared and used repeating crossbows. Their target was Deputy Prefect Ren. When I heard the guards' shouts and rushed over immediately, it was already over. Of the two guards, one died on the spot and the other was seriously injured. " Tong Zhenye described the scene. In fact, he didn't know much, but he was the fastest and arrived at the scene just in time.
In the end, he became the punching bag and could only laugh bitterly.
"Your Majesty, Sir Ren is fine for the time being and his wounds are all fine. However, the poison on the crossbow arrow is still in his body. Even though nothing can be seen on the surface, it has been corroding his body. Without the antidote, I'm afraid he will become a cripple in half a month. Even though he is conscious, he won't be able to move. By that time, the antidote won't be of much use, "a spirited old man walked out from the room and said to the empress.
"What poison?" the empress asked coldly.
"The name of the Nine Pavilions' Half-Death is Half-Death, derived from the meaning of 'half-dead'. Those who are poisoned by this poison can neither die nor live even if they wanted to."
Upon hearing this, the empress's hair fluttered even though there was no wind. It was as if a gale was surging through the entire courtyard. Everyone felt the strong wind blowing against their faces and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Your Majesty, it's useless to get angry now. It's more important to save Sir Ren." Tong Zhenye's face immediately turned green when he saw the empress's expression, and he hurriedly tried to dissuade her.
However, the old man's words also surprised him.
The Nine Pavilions, as the name suggested, were divided into nine pavilions. The pavilion masters of each pavilion were top-notch experts. Even if they had not reached the level of the top ten in the world, they would definitely be able to enter the top hundred.
Among them, Hua Sanliu, who was the strongest, was ranked fifth in the world.
The strength of the Nine Pavilions could be imagined with the addition of the fifth most powerful expert in the world and the eight most powerful experts in the world.
The people in the Nine Pavilions were known for their unpredictability. One second, they would be chatting and drinking with you. The next second, they would turn hostile and draw their swords. After killing you, they would cry bitterly.
There was once a Pavilion Master who barged into a wedding banquet to drink wine, and the other party treated him like an honored guest.
After drinking the wine, the Pavilion Master didn't say a word and killed everyone in the wedding banquet. Then, he decorated the scene into a mourning hall and personally dressed the dead in mourning clothes.
No matter who it was, they would probably avoid such a person for fear of not being able to avoid him.
In the Nine Pavilions, it wasn't just one or two people who were like this, but all of them. The higher one's strength was, the more serious the situation would be.
Especially Hua Sanliu.
Going to such a place to ask for the antidote was not an easy task no matter how one thought about it.
…
"Did you find anything?" Seven or eight people were busy at the place where Ren Baqian was assassinated. One of them, a burly man in an official's robe, asked coldly.
This burly man wasn't tall. He was only about 1.6 meters tall and was considered extremely short among the aboriginals. However, the people around him were afraid of him. Once he spoke, they immediately gathered together.
"They walked here, and the four of them suddenly jumped up from behind the walls on both sides. At the same time, they aimed their crossbows at one person. If it wasn't for the guard who pushed that person out, he would be the one who became a hedgehog," one of them said.
"The clothes on these four people are made in the Yun Nation."
"Their weapons are also made in the Yun Nation."
"One of the swords is from Great Xia. It should be used by the most powerful person."
"They don't have anything extra on them."
"If they are not from Great Xia, then they are from the Yun Nation. They are definitely not from the Chen Nation," one of them said as he searched the four people's bodies.
"Even though the people from the Chen Nation look about the same, their skin is thicker. After all, the wind there is strong. It might be possible for other people to have thin skin, but these people are obviously death warriors trained by big clans. They can't be practicing martial arts in their rooms every day, right? "that person turned around and said.
"Continue to investigate. How long have these people been in Dayao, where do they live, and who do they have contact with. Don't let any of them go, "that burly man said loudly.
Just now, he sensed that the terrifying aura was heading to the clinic. It had only been slightly more than 30 minutes since the incident happened. The empress actually rushed over after receiving the news. This showed how much importance she attached to this matter.
At the same time, the aura that the empress emitted just now let everyone know that she was furious. Under such circumstances, no one dared to slack off.
If they didn't know anything when the empress asked them later, they would be the unlucky ones.
However, the empress wasn't paying attention to this at this moment.
It would take about 10 days to reach the Nine Pavilions from here.
According to what the old man said just now, Ren Baqian could hold on for at most half a month. After this time, even if they had the antidote, it would be useless.
Therefore, it was impossible to send someone to the Nine Pavilions to ask for the antidote. Not to mention whether or not they could get the antidote, there wasn't enough time.
They had to send someone to send Ren Baqian over. Furthermore, that person had to be strong enough to get the antidote from the Nine Pavilions.
In Dayao, there were only two people who could do all this.
Ren Baqian and Hong Wu.
Hong Wu was guarding the border. If Ren Baqian appeared in Dayao, one could imagine the commotion it would cause.
He was afraid that the imperial family of Great Xia wouldn't just watch him go around Great Xia before returning to Dayao.
But did he want to watch him die?
