C170

Ke Yuehua rode a galloping steed, and saw a huge, round stone about three meters tall standing at the entrance. Written on the stone were three large words: broken sword cliff, written in red.

She knew that the real hard battle had only just begun. Since Ke Zheng had already decided to kill Shi Jinchen and even tried to harm her, it wouldn't be easy for her to take out the antidote.

Ke Yuehua locked the horse under a large tree five hundred meters away from the entrance and hid the horse in a concealed location. Then, he walked around the broken sword cliff's large door and arrived at the back door.

"Kicking, kicks, kicks!" Someone walked over.

Ke Yuehua flew up onto a tree and landed on a branch. Through the layers of dense tree leaves, one could see two figures in a trance.

"Right Protector, you've done a great service when you went out this time."

"That's right. Master, Lord, you seem very happy!"

"Then from now on, the Right Protector should become our new master?"

"It should be. The main thing is that Miss Yue Hua disobeyed my lord's order. My lord is very angry."

"Then shouldn't we go and curry favor with the Protector?"

"That's right. Let's go."

The two sycophants under the tree clapped together and decided to show their gratitude to Qin Yu right now.

Ke Yuehua watched as the two of them walked far away before jumping down from the tree.

Ke Yuehua made use of his growing up advantages, familiarizing with the geographical environment, the structure of the houses, and dodging pairs and pairs of patrols, allowing him to freely make his way to Ke Zheng's room.

After Ke Yuehua determined that there was no one in the room, he pushed open the door and slowly walked in. After closing the door from the inside, he rushed straight toward the medicine cabinet which was in front of Ke Zheng.

He reckoned that there were more than a hundred bottles, and they were all made up of various poisons and corresponding antidotes. Ke Yuehua carefully took out each bottle and inspected them one by one, then carefully put them back in their original positions, even the corresponding positions at the mouth of the bottles were exactly the same.

Ke Zheng was a very meticulous and cautious person, especially in terms of detail. Since he was a child, his Ke Yuehua had been trained by his Ke Zheng, and he had truly experienced the sensitivity of Ke Zheng. He absolutely could not let go of a single detail, allowing him to discover that he was unable to save Shi Jinchen.

Ke Yuehua continued to carefully inspect every bottle. Finally, Ke Yuehua took out a white porcelain bottle, and on top of the bottle, a label was written with the words "Thousand Threaded Antidote".

Ke Yuehua excitedly opened the cap of the bottle, placed the bottle close to his nose and personally took a whiff, then poured another pill into his hands for observation. It was colorless and tasteless, so it was the antidote.

Ke Yuehua carefully returned the medicine into the bottle, covered the bottle and placed it on his chest. The items in the cabinet were arranged neatly and they closed the door.

Just as Ke Yuehua was about to push open the door and walk out, he heard the sound of Ke Zheng. It was a bit feminine, but very mellow and deep, as though it was very contradictory.

"Ah, Qin Yu, you've done well in this matter."

Ke Yuehua scanned the surroundings, searching for a place to hide. A wardrobe? Under the bed? Neither.

Ke Zheng pushed open the door, and followed after him through.

At this time, Ke Yuehua was already hiding behind the bedroom's screen. Ke Yuehua tried his best to shrink his body into a slit so that they wouldn't discover him.

"My lord, what about the moonlight?" Qin Yu thought about it, hesitated for a while, but still asked.

Ke Zheng walked to the chair behind his desk, narrowed his eyes and said: "She will take the initiative to come back and beg me."

"Yes, her Shi Jinchen has been poisoned. Only our broken sword cliff has the antidote, she will definitely come back. We should be there tomorrow or the next day. " Qin Yu nodded in agreement.

Qin Yu: "Master, this disciple has a question that I don't know whether or not I should ask, but I have been troubled for a long time.

"Go ahead." Ke Zheng picked up the teapot on the desk, went to two cups of tea, and handed one cup to Qin Yu.

"Why should we cooperate with the Crown Prince? Weren't we all not involved with the matters of the imperial court before? "

Ke Zheng raised his head, looking ahead, his eyes firm, "No, we have never left the imperial government."

Qin Yu looked at Ke Zheng with puzzlement, and did not understand.

Ke Zheng prompted him: "Think about it, who were the people we assassinated before?"

Qin Yu frowned as he thought back to the number of lives he had lost on his hands. The younger brother of the prime minister, the wife of the border guards, as well as other people with connections to the imperial court, etc.

"I always thought it was because of their high bids."

Ke Zheng did not answer this question, but instead said: "Let me tell you a story."

Then, Ke Zheng stood up and walked over to the window of the study. The flower garden before his eyes had already become illusory, and his memories had long since returned to those bloody years.

The emperor and queen of the Kingdom of Zi Yan loved each other very much, and they had a pair of children. The elder brother was given the title of Crown Prince from the moment he was born, and ten years later, his younger sister was born. That period of time was their happiest period. Their families were harmonious, and their country was prosperous. Even if they were born in a royal family, they were no different from ordinary families.

Before going to sleep each night, the queen would kiss their cheeks, tell them stories, coax them to sleep, and then leave.

However, all of these things had disappeared when his brother was thirteen years old. Nan Ling had always been trying to get rid of the purple swallow, secretly planning to destroy the Kingdom of Zi Yan, and had spent a huge sum of money to bribe the imperial court's ministers to deceive them. The hundreds of people in the Kingdom of Zi Yan lived in deep suffering, but the imperial officials had always tried to deceive the king, and thus, the citizens' dissatisfaction accumulated day after day.

When the Southern Summoning Country's General Guardian sent troops to attack the Purple Yan Nation, the citizens of the Kingdom of Zi Yan responded to the call. He was caught off guard by the king of the Purple Swallow Empire.

Just as the Conclave was about to invade the palace of the Violet Swallow, the king quickly separated his brother and sister from his most trusted palace servants and hid them.

When the palace broke, the king was shot to death by random arrows, and the queen committed suicide to follow her husband.

By the time the war ended, the older brother was no longer able to find his sister.

From then on, his brother's family was ruined and he no longer had a family member in this world.

Brother went through all kinds of trials and tribulations to establish his broken sword cliff, all for the sake of restoring his country.

Ke Zheng slowly came out of the memories, and said in a hoarse voice: "I worked with the crown prince to restore my country, and when the crown prince ascends the throne, it will be time for my country to return."

"So the people we killed before, were they the ministers and their families who betrayed the nation of Zi Yan?"

"Yes, I will not let go of anyone who betrayed Ziyan and caused our nation to be destroyed." Ke Zheng clenched his fists tightly, and said furiously, "It was all because of them previously."

"Who's there?" Ke Zheng grabbed his teacup and threw it like a screen.
