Chapter 380: My subordinates don’t know
Qingfeng was also having a headache: "There is no news from Mr. Qiu right now, and the emperor has no news from him either. We'd better all be careful, because we don't know what his next move will be."
Xia Wanniang tapped her fingers on the table intermittently: "But if a country is to be plunged into chaos, what else can it be besides war?"
Xu Li said nonchalantly: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters."
Several people looked at Xu Li in unison: "Apart from natural disasters, the next is man-made disasters."
Porphyry: "Man-made disaster? Burning, killing and looting?"
Qingfeng shook his head: "Given Daxia's current situation, such an uncontrollable situation will not happen."
Xu Li: "Then there is only one."
Xia Wanniang remembered something: "Qingfeng, did the queen of the previous dynasty have a lover who was very good at both witchcraft and poison?"
Qingfeng's eyes widened: "You mean he might have cast a spell or poisoned someone."
Xia Wanniang was also unsure: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. If it is a poison like plague, it will spread very quickly. If it is not dealt with in time, it will soon cause panic."
Qingfeng: "I will ask them to pay attention to whether there are large-scale outbreaks of the disease in various places." After saying that, he immediately stood up and went to write a letter.
Xu Li frowned and looked at Xia Wanniang: "Is this really possible?"
Xia Wanniang looked at Xian Xuli and said, "I hope I am overthinking this. It is not easy to develop such a poison."
Porphyry's hands were shaking a little: "What if he succeeds?"
Xia Wanniang lowered her eyes and did not look at Banyan: "I'm afraid there will be corpses everywhere."
Several people in the cabin gasped. This was the worst-case scenario they had thought of.
……
Underground palace.
Pu Xingyu had been recuperating from his injuries in the underground palace for several months, and was looking at the message handed to him by the assassin: food and fodder had been delivered outside the pass.
He looked at the message and a smile appeared on his face: "Let Jing'an come to see me."
Jing An came over soon and bowed to him: "Your Highness."
"How's the thing I asked you to make?" Pu Xingyu put the note in his hand over the candle flame and burned it.
Jing An: "We are already conducting experiments. We have found a remote village. If there are no problems, we should have results in the next few days."
Pu Xingyu showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Don't come near here, it will easily arouse suspicion."
Jing An: "Isn't the most dangerous place the safest?"
Pu Xingyu looked at Jing An, who had no expression on his face. "What you said seems to make sense. Why not choose Maocheng after you succeed?"
"It's a pity that it's about to snow. Those fools from the tribe insist on waiting until next year to attack Daxia. They are such a bunch of idiots." Thinking of this, the expression on his face became a little ferocious.
Jing An did not express any opinion: "If Your Highness does not give any instructions, I will withdraw first."
"Wait." Pu Xingyu called out to Jing An.
Jing'an stopped and looked at him: "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"
Pu Xingyu: "How is the master's health now?"
Jing'an's eyes flickered for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure: "Still the same as before, very healthy."
Pu Xingyu raised the corners of his lips and said, "It's good that the master is in good health!" After saying that, he waved his hand and let Jing An leave.
Jing'an bowed and left his palace.
Pu Xingyu looked at the beautiful woman standing beside him and said, "I think the master's women are tired of playing with him. You can take me with you to serve the master."
The woman immediately knelt on the ground when she heard it: "Your Highness, please forgive me!"
Pu Xingyu waved his hands irritably. At this time, two assassins came out from the dark, covered the woman's mouth, and dragged her towards the main hall of the underground palace no matter how she struggled.
Soon, laughter and screams were heard from the main hall, one louder than the other and very pleasant to the ears!
Pu Xingyu looked at the hall and the smile on his face deepened.
"Your Highness, the Xiao family has left Luo City."
Pu Xingyu's expression froze instantly: "When did it happen, and who left?"
The assassin lowered his head even lower: "We can't enter Los Angeles to investigate. By the time we found out, we only knew that they had left."
"Where have you gone?"
"Subordinates, subordinates don't know."
Pu Xingyu raised his hand and slapped the assassin on the forehead. The assassin vomited blood and died on the spot: "Go check it for me."
