Chapter 4 Purple Ink Poisonous Yin

Lin Fenghe looked around with a bitter face: "Prince, let's go to the palace to talk." Li Qiang was so uncomfortable that he was called by one of the princes on the left and the other on the right. He knew in his heart that people from an official family like Lin Fenghe could not joke with others casually, especially in formal occasions. The rules and regulations have been deeply imprinted on their bodies since childhood, and it is not easy to change. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go in."

On the way, Li Qiang asked, "Zhao Hao, where are our people?"

Zhao Hao said, "Master, they are all guarding the bedroom as guards."

Li Qiang smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be arrested. Are Konghou and the others here too?" Lin Fenghe interrupted quickly and said, "Master Konghou is here too. We have no choice. The palace is making a big fuss. Just as the prince's people are coming, he issuing an order to welcome Zhao and the others into the palace in person."

Zhao Hao said: "I have met a wise cultivator. Fortunately, we have many people and have experts like Huohou and Kudu, so we scared our opponent away. Until now, there is no major event." Li Qiang knew that this time he was involved in the struggle between the former Song Kingdom.

Starting from entering the palace gate, the guards were even tighter along the way. Li Qiang went up and found that there were almost no dead corners in the entire palace, and guards were guarding every place. From time to time, you could see cultivators from the sacrificial palace patrolling. When you walked to the back bedroom, Li Qiang said in surprise: "Hey, it's all our people."

Nashan and Tange stood at the outer gate of the bedroom, like two door gods, with their chests raised and their heads raised, looking forward without looking sideways. Li Qiang suddenly accelerated and suddenly appeared in front of Nashan. Nashan was so scared that he trembled and found that it was Li Qiang. He immediately smiled and shouted in a low voice: "Boss...hehe, Boss, you are finally here, hehe."

Li Qiang patted his chest and said with a smile: "Nashan, you are very majestic." Nashan laughed and said, "I, Old Na, are now a first-class guard." He was so proud that he didn't know what to do. Li Qiang laughed and said, "Oh, what rank is this big official? Tell me."

Nashan said embarrassedly: "It's very big anyway... I don't know about the majority of the official, so I must be very big, haha." Tange said: "Boss, this kid just became an official... Hehe, he can't even walk..." Nashan glared at Tange: "Old Tan, don't say bad things about me!"

A eunuch general manager walked out of the bedroom and said sharply: "Prince, the emperor summoned him."

Na Shan took a deep breath and muttered in a low voice: "It's amazing, it turns out that the boss is still the prince." Tan Ge didn't understand very much and asked: "What kind of official is the prince? Are you older than you?" Na Shan shook his big bald head: "It's not a big deal." Li Qiang laughed and scolded: "You guy, you are not a little addicted to officialdom. Do you want to leave you in the palace?"

Nashan laughed and said, "It's not necessary to stay. Boss, let old Navigation be fine, I'll follow you. These brothers...oh, I can't live without them." Li Qiang smiled and patted his shoulder, turned around and walked into the bedroom.

There were more than a dozen officials sitting in the hall of the bedroom, some of which Li Qiang knew. The one who was most familiar to him was the old master Cheng Zizhong. When he saw Li Qiang, a trace of fear appeared on his face. He could not forget the incident when Li Qiang knocked him out last time when he left the capital. Li Qiang smiled and said, "Oh, it's my master...congratulations on your promotion."

Cheng Zizhong was wearing a first-grade purple python costume. He was already the Minister of Personnel. He also knew that because of Li Qiang, the emperor favored him. He was so quick to rise because of the light of the Holy Prince and Li Qiang. Cheng Zizhong smiled bitterly and said, "Prince, please ask you for your blessing. Cheng Zizhong, the Minister of Personnel, will pay homage to the Prince."

Li Qiang waved his hand and raised it, but Cheng Zizhong couldn't go down. Li Qiang said, "Old Master, you don't seem to be happy to see me. Hi, you had to knock you out last time. Can't I apologize?" Cheng Zizhong looked panicked and said, "I dare not! I dare not! It's too late for Zizhong to be happy when he saw the prince, so how dare I complain."

The officials in the hall were all senior officials of the Old Song State. When they saw Li Qiang's clothes, they knew that a prince had come. However, most people did not know him, and only a few people knew who Li Qiang was. Cheng Zizhong introduced: "This is the brother of the Holy Prince, and the prince Zhongyong, the emperor conferred the imperial title." He was the Minister of Personnel, and he knew all the personnel changes.

It doesn't matter what official Li Qiang is now. What's important is that he is the brother of the Holy Prince. This identity is very scary in the Song State. The senior officials rushed forward to greet him. A eunuch whispered to remind him: "Prince, the emperor is still waiting for summons." Li Qiang nodded and hurriedly followed the eunuch inside.

There was actually a square courtyard inside the bedroom. There were Kudu people standing in the yard. When they saw Li Qiang, they immediately saluted and signaled him to go in quickly. Lin Fenghe lowered his voice and said, "The Emperor is already at his dying moment." Li Qiang was shocked. He did not speak, and he accelerated his pace and walked into the room.

There was a team of palace maids and eunuchs standing outside the dormitory door, all standing with their hands down. The eunuch at the door waved his hand quietly, asking Li Qiang and others to stop waiting. He went into the dormitory to report first. After a while, the eunuchs and eunuchs walked out and whispered: "Please, sir!"

The dormitory is not big, a cloud bed with dragons and phoenixes occupying half of the room, and a strong smell of medicine comes to the nose. There are still several people standing in the room, a middle-aged man wearing prince's clothes, Zhao Gong, the current emperor's younger brother, and a twelve or thirteen-year-old child wearing prince's clothes. He is the emperor's only son Zhao Qi. The emperor gave the elixir given by Hou Pijing, and gave birth to this only precious son at the age of 60. He was named the prince as soon as he was born.

Konghou stood behind the cloud bed, and another cultivator stood at the corner of the house by the door, crossing the diagonal position with Konghou to protect the seriously ill emperor. The two imperial doctors stood helplessly.

Prince Zhao Qi knelt on the pedal of the cloud bed, holding the emperor's hand, his face full of tears. As soon as Li Qiang entered the room, he immediately alarmed everyone and turned his face to look at them. Li Qiang was shocked when he saw the emperor on the cloud bed. He ignored the greetings of others and walked quickly to the bedside. A trace of anger flashed in Prince Dexian's eyes. Li Qiang ignored him. He turned his head to a picture of pine eagle hanging on the wall to hide his anger.

Li Qiang didn't know how to diagnose, but he was a master of cultivation. He knew at a glance that the emperor was not sick, but he seemed to have been infected with some chronic poison. Perhaps it was a magic pill given by the cultivator, which made him drag it to the present. Li Qiang waved to the imperial physician and asked, "What's the problem with the emperor?" The young prince interrupted: "I know, he was infected with a strange poison!" The imperial physician bowed and nodded: "Prince, this poison is very strange, and there is no solution..." He explained verbally.

The little prince saw Li Qiang's eyes very special, which was a kind of admiration. He knew who Li Qiang was. As the successor of the Song Kingdom, the emperor had already explained some of the most important things to him, especially everything related to the Holy Prince. He asked with hope: "Can you save my father?"

As soon as Konghou entered the room, he sent a message to everyone's identity. Li Qiang smiled and said, "Are you the prince Zhao Qi? Haha, don't worry, as long as it is poison, you won't be afraid." He was relieved when he heard that it was poison, because he had the detoxification holy medicine of Tianlai City, Hanmar Scale. Prince Zhao Qi was overjoyed and did not care about Li Qian's ruthlessness when he spoke. You must know that he is the crown prince of a country, and he has to kneel down and bow down when speaking to him.

Although the prince was young, he was very experienced and mature. He said: "Fortunately, Zhao Qi thanked him on behalf of his father."

Li Qiang smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the prince, don't be polite." The people in the room were almost scared to death by Li Qiang's actions, and they were thinking in their hearts: Li Qiang really has the style of a saint prince, neither big nor small, nor obeying rules.

Prince Dexian suddenly shouted, "Bold! How dare you be rude to Your Highness the Crown Prince. Come and arrest him!" The cultivator at the corner of the house suddenly shot out the flying sword and took Li Qiang's neck. Konghou was furious and a brown bead string flew out. Zhao Hao also sprayed a cold bird flying sword behind Li Qiang. In an instant, the sword lights flashed all over the room.

Li Qiang ignored all this. He reached out and took out the cold marrow scales and said, "This is the detoxification pill..." Prince Dexian shouted, "Your Highness, you must not let the emperor take such elixirs of unknown origin at will. Let the worshipers in the worship hall examine it first!"

Li Qiang stuffed the spirit pill to the prince, flew backwards, grabbed the cultivator's flying sword in the air, and said coldly: "You don't want to live in the emperor's bedroom!" He sent a message to Konghou: "Look at him, don't let him slip away."

Prince Dexian was shocked. Li Qiang was so powerful. He said with a harsh and cowardly look: "What a boldness! Your Highness, you have to make the decision for the emperor's uncle." The prince seemed to have not heard Prince Dexian's words, and he was concentrating and carefully stuffed the pills into the emperor's mouth, but the emperor could no longer swallow it. He said in embarrassment: "Prince Prince..."

Li Qiang said: "Prince, please get out of here and let me try it."

Prince Zhao Qi stood up, retreated aside, and looked at Li Qiang with his eyes. Prince Dexian Zhao Gong's face turned red. He grew so big, no one dared to be so rude to him. He angrily shook his sleeves and walked out of the door. Li Qiang's mind was all on the emperor. He checked with his spiritual sense, thought of a good idea, and said, "Konghou, Zhao Hao, you two protect me, Prince, don't worry about other matters for now. You send orders and no one is allowed to enter the house, otherwise you will kill me!"

Li Qiang's words made the prince feel energetic, and he knew very well that if his father had a few shortcomings at this time, the prince would not be able to sit firmly on the throne, so he valued the emperor's life and death more than anyone else. He decisively sent an order, then sat on the chair next to him and said, "Please help the prince with all his strength, I will take care of everything."

Li Qiang was surprised. The prince was really amazing. He could make a quick decision, take it and put it down. He had the atmosphere of an emperor. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, prince." A purple-red light appeared on his hand, and a trace of it shot into the emperor's body. Gradually, the emperor's purple face was covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans. He began to tremble, as if he was struggling hard.

A eunuch standing next to him was holding a soft towel to wipe the emperor's sweat. Li Qiang shouted softly: "Go away!" Zhao Hao's body was extremely fast and smashed the eunuch away with one punch. The eunuch was so scared that he fainted. The air in the room suddenly became nervous, and all the eunuchs and palace maids lowered their heads, not even daring to get out of breath. At this time, the nine clans were not enough to kill them.

The cold marrow scale spread rapidly with the movement of Li Qiang's true energy. Gradually, the mucus as black as ink was drawn out of the emperor's body in a slight vein and condensed above his body. The outer layer of the thick black mucus was wrapped with a thin layer of purple light. Li Qiang recognized that this was a rare chronic poison called Zimo Poison Yin, which was teleported by the * poison curse.

The emperor suddenly shouted, "I'm suffocating!"

The prince was immediately full of joy, and he admired Li Qiang even more: so many people were helpless, and even the masters in the worship hall could not save their father. In less than an hour after Li Qiang came, he had already seen hope. He was truly worthy of being the brother of the Holy Prince.

Li Qiang originally wanted to use the sky fire to burn this ball of purple ink poison, but then he changed his mind. This ball of poison is also a rare thing, it's a pity to burn it. He used the technique of refining the Huichun Valley to condense the ball of purple ink poison into six crystal clear poison beads. Li Qiang held the poison beads in his hand and said, "It's this thing that harms people, but I don't understand, how could the emperor get involved in the Poison Curse Sect?"

The emperor opened his eyes and immediately recognized Li Qiang. After so many years, Li Qiang has not grown old at all, and he still looked like he was when he first met. He said weakly: "I finally waited for you, ahem, this time I will stay in the old Song Kingdom for a little longer. I know that you don't want to be an official, even for the sake of the Holy King..."

Li Qiang nodded embarrassedly and said, "Your Majesty should rest assured and recuperate. It's irrelevant now. Well, I will stay for a while." He still softened. If the emperor said in an orderly tone, he might ignore it, but the emperor would have no choice but to use a pleading tone.

The emperor smiled with relief and said, "Son, I have come to see Prince Zhongyong. Please ask him more questions in the future." The prince said happily, "Father, Prince Zhongyong has achieved the merit of saving the emperor. I will pay attention to it. Please rest assured and recover as soon as possible." The emperor was very satisfied with the prince, with his eyes full of pampering.

Li Qiang took out two green jade plaques, pinched them in his palm, and instantly carved three kinds of talismans on it, and then used a stream of true energy to activate the talisman. He handed it to the prince and said, "Hang one piece on the emperor's neck, and one piece for you, you can avoid the evil curse of the poisonous curse of the poisonous curse." This is the Buddhist sect's evil-avoiding Buddhist mantra, which is very different from the magic of cultivators.

The prince personally put on the jade token with a red silk thread and hung it around the emperor's neck. Three green lights flashed out of the green jade token and fainted into the emperor's body silently. The emperor felt extremely relaxed. The feeling of being unable to breathe before was wiped out, and he immediately fell asleep.

Li Qiang smiled and said, "The emperor is not in danger for the time being. With this jade token, it is difficult to get on the body. However, if the emperor recently issued a curse, this jade token cannot stand it. Remember, if the jade token explodes, someone will definitely place a curse within ten meters nearby." The prince hung the jade token and said hatefully: "If anyone instructed the curse, I... I will kill him nine clans!" The ruthlessness in his tone was completely inconsistent with his young age.

The eunuch who was hit by Zhao Hao just now groaned and got up, shaking his body and knelt on the ground. The prince waved his hand expressionlessly: "Drag out! Kill!" Li Qiang advised: "Crown Prince, forget it, killing people at this time is unlucky." The prince immediately woke up. His father had just recovered, and killing people at this time was indeed unlucky, so he said: "Send to Beihekou."

Li Qiang sighed secretly, the lives of the people here are really worthless, they can kill them as soon as they say they are killed. The eunuch kowtowed like pounding garlic, and he knew that it was Li Qiang who saved his life.

Li Qiang asked: "Crown Prince, who is the one who has a grudge with the emperor and wants to put such a curse?"

The prince Zhao Qi rubbed his sleepy eyes, and a rare seriousness appeared on his tender face. He whispered: "The father began to get tired of it a few months ago, and the imperial doctor could not find out what the problem was. Later, it became more and more serious. The father specially found General Lin Fenghe and sent someone to invite the masters of the worship hall to the temple. Only then did he know that someone was doing it. Thanks to General Lin Fenghe this time, he immediately arranged for the imperial guards to defend the palace and asked the masters of the worship hall to protect the bedroom. However, the father's illness became more and more serious. Although the spiritual medicine of the worship hall was dragging it, alas... he had sent someone to investigate, but he had not yet figured out who was so bold and arrogant."

In fact, the emperor had already made some arrangements. As soon as he found that the situation was wrong, he started to prepare. He knew that his problems must be solved by experts in the cultivation world. Because he could not find Hou Pijing, he placed the bet on Li Qiang. At this time, Zhao Hao and the others came. So the emperor not only granted officials and rewarded Zhao Hao and others, but also left an edict to be granted the title of king as soon as Li Qiang came back and recruited him into the palace. Because Hou Pijing once told him that Li Qiang was a trustworthy person.

Li Qiang asked, "Do you have no clue at all?"

The prince smiled bitterly and said, "No, the three major countries in the Green Basin have been fighting each other for many years. Who knows which country is causing it?" Li Qiang remembered that when he first met Hou Pijing, he was entangled by the ruthless complex of the poisonous curse. If he hadn't given him a bottle of alcohol, he would have been in trouble now.

Li Qiang did not understand the specific situation of the old Song State, and for a moment he couldn't figure out the situation. After thinking about it, he said: "Put the rest aside in advance. The emperor's recovery is the most important thing. I let Konghou stay and send a few masters to protect the inner palace. The imperial guards can retreat to stand by. Everything will be said after the emperor recovers, so there is no need to make it earth-shaking. The most important thing now is to keep the situation tight inside and loose outside. I guess the opponent will definitely take further action. One move is worse than a quiet one, so we will wait."

The prince's eyes lit up. Li Qiang's words clarified his thoughts. He replied: "Okay, let's do as the prince's will." After all, he is still a child and has been exhausted after so many days. After saying that, he couldn't help but yawn. Li Qiang smiled and said: "Prince should go to rest early, huh? Where did that guy who moved the flying sword go?"

Konghou said: "He left with Prince Dexian. I saw that the boss happened to be at the critical moment, so he didn't dare to disturb him. He should be the one in the worship hall, and he couldn't leave." The prince said: "He is not a worshiper in the worship hall, but a friend of the emperor's uncle. Because there are few masters, he specially recommended him here to protect his father."

Li Qiang said thoughtfully: "That's it...if...if...if...this..." He was a little confused about how to say it. The prince looked at Li Qiang and whispered: "What do the prince have to say, don't worry." Li Qiang said: "If I can't save the emperor, who is the best interest recipient except the prince?"

The prince was young and his face turned pale when he heard this. He understood what Li Qiang meant, but it was too sharp and he couldn't stand it. Li Qiang was a person who had rolled in the mall. He knew that there was no love for no reason and no hatred for no reason. Everything was causal. He wanted to wake up the prince.

Li Qiang said: "It's enough for the prince to know what he knows, this is just a possibility."

The prince knew in his heart that Li Qiang was crucial to whether he could take the throne in the future. He said, "The prince is back this time, which is really a blessing for the Song Dynasty. Qi'er thanked him on behalf of his father." As he said that, he stood up and saluted. He called himself Qi'er as a prince, and he treated Li Qiang as an elder.

Li Qiang held it and said, "Hey, the prince doesn't have to be so polite." But he was amazed in his heart. Such a young age would win people's hearts. This child is really not simple.

For the sake of Brother Hou Pijing, since Li Qiang has arrived in the old Song Kingdom, he must not ignore what happened here. Li Qiang said: "The prince should be more careful, it is best to have people from the worship hall guarding him." He took out the amulet given to him by Qi Junsha from the bracelet, wrapped it around the prince's wrist, and whispered: "When you find something wrong, remember to use this hand to block it, which can save your life." For some reason, Li Qiang had a pity for this little prince. It is indeed not easy to deal with such a complicated situation at such a young age.

The prince felt Li Qiang's kindness and nodded thanking: "Well, Qi'er will be careful."

Li Qiang ordered Lin Feng to put a few words together, sat cross-legged and said, "I will guard it tonight, everyone else will go to rest." Lin Feng He bowed and bowed, turned to leave the palace, and the prince took the guards back to rest, and the room became quiet.

The lights in the bedroom gradually dim and it was late at night.

Peace overnight.

Li Qiang was about to forget what it felt like when it came to sleep. He stood up and looked at the sleeping emperor and Konghou who were sitting cross-legged next to him. Zhao Hao quietly walked out of the room. When he was sitting last night, he found that there were about seven masters around the dormitory, like protecting the emperor. When he came to the corridor, he saw the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving leaning against the wall and sleeping.

Li Qiang was silent when he walked, as if he was floating on the ground, and these people didn't notice it. He walked outside and came to the gate of the bedroom. Na Shan and Tan Ge were sleeping soundly by the door, while more than a dozen guards stood honestly. Seeing Li Qiang coming out and saluted each one.

Li Qiang nodded and gently patted Nashan's bald head. The boy was so scared that he "rubbed" and the green shadow bundle on his elbow flashed out a light and slashed on Li Qiang. When he found that he was hitting the boss, he screamed in shock: "Hey! Boss, I didn't mean it..."

The guards around were frightened. Not only did Nashan slash out lightning and hit the prince, but he also called the prince the boss. He was extremely rude. Unexpectedly, Li Qiang smiled and said, "Nashan, go shopping with me." That little lightning could not hurt him at all. Tange said, "I want to go too!" Nashan chuckled, "Thank you, boss. Lao Tan, what is on your face? Alas..."

Tange was confused by his words, and wiped his face hard with his sleeves, and asked, "What's it? Lao Na, what is it?"

Na Shan said as if nothing happened: "It's nothing, it's just two eyes."

The guards laughed. Tange spread his hands and said, "I thought it was something, what's the matter? It's much better than the bird shit on your bald head." Nashan lifted up his sleeves and wiped his head hard twice, saying, "Impossible..." Li Qiang smiled, "Well, it's not on the top of his head, on the edge, yes... I'm close to his ears, there's really... you probably didn't pay attention when you were sleeping." He said seriously.

Nashan wiped a bald head red, and the skin on the bald head was about to be broken. Tange and Li Qiang were still saying, "No!" "Go a little further!" "On that side, there is no here!" The group of guards were about to laugh and hurt. Nashan then realized that he was fooled by the two of them, and he was so angry that he shouted: "Boss! Tange!"

Li Qiang said as if nothing had happened: "Well, you've wiped it clean now." It's really unproof. Tange smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's wiped it clean. Alas, your head is so red, it's flashing red, as if you want to make a fortune." Na Shan opened his mouth wide, so angry that he didn't know what to say. If a boss joins in and plays, he will definitely suffer a loss.
