Emperor, are you going to anger me to death?

He extended his white jade fingers and picked it up, examining it for a long time. Honestly speaking, although he did not wish to see all the affairs of the world, he could still be considered to be knowledgeable.

However, he really did not know what the thing in front of him was used for! " You said that the reason the Southern Qi went on such a rampage to mine iron ore was for this? "

Mu Qi nodded, "Yes. It was said that this was something that the Southern Qi Emperor, Baili Yi Chen, had proposed to research and create. He said that it was something that could be used to build railways. Initially, our people wanted to explore inside to find out more about it, but that department was really too strict in their management, and it took too much effort for our people to get in, but we only found a lot of long iron bars, tens of metres long, and didn't know what they were meant to be used for, there are many of these things, so we stole one of them out.

It was actually a finger sized screw.

Murong Shaoxuan nodded her head: "Southern Qi, have something big happened recently?"

"There are one or two major matters. The Southern Qi Emperor was heavily injured by assassins, and all of the court affairs were given to the Regent King to take care of. The Southern Qi and Hong Zhong all mysteriously got sick and died."

"However, there is another strange thing. It is said that there was originally a Empress in the Southern Qi, but Baili Yi Chen insisted on sealing up imperial concubine Hong Zhong, and did not hesitate to fall out with his relatives in the Southern Qi Royal Family Sect. In the end, they even went to the Prince Regent of South Qi, where Baili Mingyue was.

"Hmm?" "As Murong Shaoxuan listened to what Mu Qi said, she kept thinking about these things. It is truly strange that Baili Yi Chen would actually support him in this way. However, Baili Yi Chen did not hesitate to go against the royal family and wanted to make that woman his Empress. Thus, he can be considered to have deep feelings for her. "

Mu Qi nodded his head: "Yeah, it is said that in a period of time, imperial concubine still put in a lot of effort for the flood in the three provinces of Southern Qi, and for the construction of this railway, it is said that it has a lot to do with that imperial concubine. When she died from such a sickness, Baili Yi Chen would naturally be hurt. "

"Are you saying that the construction of the railway has something to do with that imperial concubine?" Hearing Mu Qi's words, Murong Shaoxuan's face turned cold.

Mu Qi was curious about Master's reaction, but he nodded anyway: "Yes."

"That imperial concubine died a few days ago?" Murong Shaoxuan asked again.

"Yes!" Furthermore, it is said that the relationship between the Prince Regent of South Qi and his concubine is very special as well. " Mu Qi felt even weirder.

Seeing that Murong Shaoxuan was so interested in the matters of the imperial concubine, he decided to send the information regarding Hong Zhong and Baili Yi Chen to Murong Shaoxuan one by one. However, most of them were from Hong Zhong and Baili Yi Chen.

After Murong Shaoxuan heard this, she became serious and silent for a long time: "Then, can you find out the relationship between Baili Mingyue and that woman?"

Mu Qi paused for a moment, and replied: "I heard that Prince Regent of South Qi has always been fond of a woman, and even now he still hasn't accepted that it's said to be because of that woman. However, all of this is just a popular rumor among the people, and there's no conclusive evidence that that woman is Baili Yi Chen's concubine, Hong Zhong."

Regarding the news regarding Hong Zhong, the people only knew about the young miss of the Imperial General's Estate, the previous emperor had sealed the imperial concubine, and as for the others, they were kept a secret of the imperial family, so ordinary people would not be able to find out about them, not to mention the people from other countries.

Murong Shaoxuan nodded: "Go investigate. Before I meet Baili Mingyue, I want to know everything about Baili Mingyue and Hong Zhong. "

"Yes." Mu Qi looked at the Murong Shaoxuan who was lost in thought, and was obviously scheming something.

Murong Shaoxuan thought for a while, then said coldly: "Send more people to watch the woman tonight, if they lose them, then they need not come back."

These words were a death order.

Either complete the mission, or die!

"Yes sir!" Mu Qi immediately received the order to send people down to watch Hong Zhong.

Waiting until Mu Qi immediately, Murong Shaoxuan tilted her head, and looked at the screw again and again in a good mood. Hong Zhong, is it?

In fact, he had an idea. In his heart, he had a feeling that the woman just now was the Life Destruction imperial concubine Hong Zhong. In the folklore, the woman that Baili Mingyue had fallen for was also her.

And this strange thing in front of her had something to do with the Southern Qi's recent exploration of iron ores!

Because, when Hong Zhong saw this strange thing on the chess board, although there was no change in her expression, the moment of hesitation in her eyes did not escape Murong Shaoxuan's eyes. At that time, Murong Shaoxuan had suspected that Hong Zhong recognized this strange thing!

It was just that she did not expect that this object might have come from her hand!

… ….

Hong Zhong carried Hong Zhong by the collar and used her lightness techniques the whole way back to the inn.

He threw Hong Zhong onto the reclining chair. On his gorgeous face, there was an extremely cold expression.

Hua Yurong's rudeness also caused Hong Zhong to be somewhat shocked. After all, all this while, in Hong Zhong's impression, Hua Yurong had always been extremely good to her. What's wrong?

Before he could even open his mouth, Hua Yurong had already spoken directly to Hong Zhong: "Xiao Zhonger, you better explain to me honestly, who exactly is that man called Wuqing!"

"Nani?" What the hell was an adulterer?

Seeing that, Lv Luo, Mo Xi and the rest who had followed Hua Yurong back also turned around with tacit understanding. At a time like this, it would be better if they did not get in the way.

Actually, they arrived at that courtyard right after he did. When they arrived, they could clearly feel that the house was extraordinary. There were around a dozen or so hidden guards around, big or small.

In an ordinary family's house, who would do this?

In order to not alert the enemy, they temporarily stayed outside to observe the situation.

Unexpectedly, these people were all people with profound inner force skills. They did not need to spend too much effort to be able to hear every single move from inside.

At that time, when Hong Zhong was saying "heartless fiancé" and other such things, they had all heard him clearly.

The few of them did not know what was happening inside, so they did not know why Hong Zhong said that. At that moment, both Hua Yurong and Wu Hen's faces changed, if not for Mo Xi and Lv Luo pulling him, Hua Yurong would have rushed in right away!

Mo Xi and Lv Luo had left, but Wu Hen was still standing by the side. He had naturally heard of Hong Zhong's fiance Wu Hen, so he felt that when Master was not around, as a loyal secret guard, it was necessary for him to find out the identity of his love rival!

"What, are you still reluctant to tell me who the adulterer is?" After Hua Yurong finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and sat down on the stone table beneath the tree. He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of Honeysuckle Tea, going to burn!

It was one thing to have Baili Mingyue, but now a fiance called Wuqing appeared? There were so many peach blossoms, why couldn't he see Hua Yurong?

"Little Flower, what did you say? Where's the adulterer!" Hong Zhong looked at Hua Yurong who had an extremely bad complexion, thought of Lv Luo and Mo Xi, who had just turned around and left, and Wu Hen, who was at the side with a cold face.

Seeing that Hong Zhong was not admitting to it, the anger in Hua Yurong's heart seemed to grow even more. Before she even had time to drink the tea in her hand, she smashed the cup of tea towards Hong Zhong.

Hong Zhong dodged and quickly jumped up from the reclining chair. Even though she had successfully avoided the cup, some of the tea in the teacup still splashed onto her skirt.

Tilting his head to look at Hua Yurong's cold face, Hong Zhong knew that Hua Yurong was truly angry.

Although she didn't know why he was angry, she still had to coax him. So she shook off the water stains on her clothes and asked, "The cup was smashed and the water was splashed. Now you should tell me what made you angry, right?"

"Are you still not going to admit it? Then let me ask you, who exactly is that bastard Wuqing! " As Hua Yurong spoke, he stood up and walked towards Hong Zhong. As he was taller than Hong Zhong by a head, he stood in front of Hong Zhong and stared down at her.

Hong Zhong was so frightened by Hua Yurong's aura that she did not dare move an inch, as she quickly thought about what Hua Yurong had said.

That bastard Wuqing?

He shrunk his neck to think about it, then suddenly remembered what he had said to numb Murong Shaoxuan. In an instant, he understood what Hua Yurong was trying to say. Raising his head to look at Hua Yurong's beautiful face, he could not help but burst out laughing.

Seeing that, Hua Yurong became even angrier, her beautiful voice had a trace of anger: "You can still laugh? Are you going to anger me to death? " It was clearly an angry complaint, but after saying it, the voice carried a natural alluring endings that added to its charm.

"Hahaha …" Seeing Hua Yurong like that, Hong Zhong laughed even louder.

It was only when she felt his unfriendly gaze that she tried her best to hold it in and seriously opened her mouth: "Little Flower, did you know that you looked just now like a jealous woman!"

"..." Wu Hen felt that Hong Zhong's description was rather fitting.

Seeing that Hua Yurong's expression was not right, Hong Zhong immediately stopped and explained: "Wuqing, whatever it is, is actually fake. When I went in, I realized that the atmosphere in the house was very strange, so I said that on purpose. "

After Hua Yurong heard these words, she looked away hesitantly, but her expression was still not good: "Xiao Zhonger, you are not such a reckless person, since you know that the people in the house are strange, you should not take the risk to enter." Actually, he was not completely heartless, but he was even more so angry that Hong Zhong did not care about his own safety and risked it!

"Yes, yes, yes, Little Flower, anything you say is right, everything you say is reasonable." Seeing that Hua Yurong's anger had subsided, Hong Zhong immediately tried to curry favor with him. "I swear, I won't be so reckless next time. I know you're the best, so don't be angry, alright?"

"Humph!" If there's a next time, let's see how I'll deal with you. " As Hua Yurong spoke, the expression on her face had already eased up: "Speak, what exactly is going on? How can you let someone chase after you with no regards for their own life?"

Actually, she was very curious as to who was the one who sent this message to her.

Amongst the Shengjing City, only Hong Zhong and a few people knew of this news. If it was Mo Chen and the others, they probably wouldn't have sent the message to him, and would have directly gone to the Zhonghe City to ask for medicine.

Hong Zhong suspected that the person who sent the message must have found out about the Ten Thousand Gu Cold Poison, which was why he chased after it.

Hua Yurong received the slip of paper from Hong Zhong's hand. When she saw the words "Herba Brassicae, blossom five days later, and flower ten years later." After that, she was obviously stunned for a moment. Her bright peach blossom eyes also quickly revealed a trace of puzzlement and a serious expression.

"What's wrong?" Hong Zhong detected Hua Yurong's abnormality, and asked.

Hua Yurong covered the unusual expression on her face and tilted her head to look at Hong Zhong.

"Are you sure?" In fact, Hong Zhong was suspecting the authenticity of this news. Outsiders knew that she was looking for the Herba Brassicae, so the fact that the Shezhengwang's Palace was looking for these rare herbs had already been leaked.

Therefore, Hong Zhong believed that having many eyes of the heart was always good.

Hua Yurong nodded: "Yes. The Herba Brassicae does indeed open once every ten years, and the most recent time was five days later. However, the Herba Brassicae is an Ancient Divine Medicine, so it doesn't seem like there's much use for you to take it.

Hong Zhong lowered her head and thought, then explained the matter regarding the Ten Thousand Gu Cold Poison to Hua Yurong. After Hua Yurong finished listening, there was an expression that Hong Zhong could not understand, and she asked softly: "So you plan to go to the middle canal to get medicine for Baili Mingyue?"

"Yes." Hong Zhong firmly nodded her head, raised her eyes and looked at Hua Yurong: "I will first have Wu Hen send news of the Herba Brassicae to Mo Chen and Shezhengwang's Palace, then we will set off tomorrow and rush to middle canal, seeking the Herba Brassicae."

"You can't go." Hua Yurong stopped her cold voice as she met Hong Zhong's puzzled gaze. Her pleasant voice sounded slowly: "Do you know that when the Herba Brassicae blooms in the past ten years, it only blooms for a single day. Only when it blooms on the same day that the Herba Brassicae blooms will it have the best curative effect? Let's not talk about whether we have the time to rush here, let's talk about the Zhonghe City Mo family. They have been living in the Zhonghe City all this time just to protect that Herba Brassicae.

Hong Zhong said with a serious face, "Whether or not we take it will not matter. If we don't go, we will have no chance at all. What I am more concerned about is, if we travel day and night, are we unable to reach Zhonghe City within five days? "
