Chapter 82 [Action against the Second Prince]
All these changes happened too suddenly.
In the last second, he was still smiling, and in the next moment, he drew his sword.
"Are they so close?" Fan Xian couldn't help but ask.
"Probably... not, right?" Fan Sizhe couldn't help but say.
Lin Wan'er was confused and Fan Xian was stunned.
They saw with their own eyes that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, arm in arm, walked towards the backyard.
"Strange." Fan Xian felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
In the attic.
There were only Li Chengqian, the second prince, Xie Bian, Xia Lan and Qiu Zhu in the room.
Xie Bian is a ninth-rank swordsman and the fastest swordsman in Kyoto, but he didn't even have the chance to draw his sword.
Poison!
As Fei Jie's last disciple, Fan Xian could tell at a glance that Xie Bian was poisoned.
"Most poisons are ineffective against the ninth grade of the world. How did you do it?" asked the second prince.
Li Chengqian bit a grape and said:
"My Daqing nation is prosperous. In addition to Fei Jie, there is another master of poison."
Hearing this, the Second Prince looked at Xia Zhu, "Isn't she a miracle doctor?"
"Medicine and poison are inseparable." Xia Zhu said coldly.
The ninth grade in the world is immune to most poisons, and ordinary poisons are ineffective against the ninth grade.
However, the grandmaster of poison always has some special methods.
For example, Fei Jie, even if he is a shadow, can be poisoned if he is not prepared.
Moreover, the poison master's methods are far more than just this.
In terms of combat power, a master of poison use might not be as good as a master of combat power.
However, if the poison is administered skillfully, it can also make the victim fall asleep for a while.
Now, Fei Jie is developing a poison that can be used against grandmasters.
As for when we will succeed, it is hard to say.
It takes time.
However, there is one thing to be congratulated.
That is, Xia Zhu had already developed a poison that was powerful enough to deal with the grandmaster.
Not to mention poisoning, making the person unconscious for a stick of incense is still possible.
"You can't kill me here?" The second prince laughed.
Deep in his eyes, there was uncertainty.
"After all, so many people saw that it was you and I who came to the backyard, unless you killed them all."
That's the truth.
But for some reason, after years of hostility, the Second Prince still couldn't see through Li Chengqian at all.
Moreover, he had a feeling that there was indeed a slight possibility that the prince was so crazy that he would kill him here regardless of everything.
Li Chengqian didn't say anything, just ate the grapes.
The second prince's eyes changed instantly when he looked at Li Chengqian.
We agreed to have dinner together, but I didn't expect that today would be a game.
In other words, everyone present is part of the chess game.
Even Li Chengqian himself is part of the chess game.
A true chess player often puts himself into the game.
If a chess player puts himself in the game, he will win half a step against heaven.
Just like today, the second prince never thought that it was just a dinner party and had nothing to do with him.
However, he walked into the trap himself.
Uninvited!
"What do you think?" Li Chengqian did not answer the second prince's question, but asked back.
"I don't think you are that stupid." The second prince looked at everyone.
“Everyone here today is a person of status, you can’t kill them all.
Besides, the fact that you and I are here is not news.
If I die here, you will be blamed and you won't be able to explain yourself.
Furthermore, the Inspection Institute has eyes and ears that are omnipresent. It would be difficult for you to leave no trace of what happened today.
As the crown prince, there is no need for you to be so crazy and reckless. "
However, as he spoke, the second prince's voice suddenly weakened.
He looked up in disbelief, "Are you really going to kill me here?"
As soon as he said this, he couldn't help but take a breath.
“That’s true. Every time you attack me, it’s a killing move, a dead end.
I will treat him the way he treated me today, why not?"
"Think carefully about the consequences!" The second prince finally became anxious.
He doesn't want to die.
I don't know when, dark shadows suddenly appeared around the house. Yishiju's backyard was a must-kill place.
"There is no sign of attack, no trace of planning, amazing!"
The second prince suddenly sighed, "It's not unfair that I lost to you!"
He probably also saw that the prince was determined to kill him today.
The cleverness of this arrangement lies in the fact that this is Fan Xian's dinner party.
Li Chengqian came only by invitation.
The second prince also came uninvited.
Therefore, there is no trace of layout at all.
Everything is just such a coincidence.
That's it.
"I still think that since you don't dare to kill me, why don't we take a gamble?"
The second prince gritted his teeth.
This was his last ray of hope.
He bet that Li Chengqian wouldn't dare to kill him.
"Do you think that if I kill you, I won't be able to explain to my father?"
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Don't forget, your father is old.
In fact, I only need to kill you and then my third brother, and Father will have no choice."
Now, those who are qualified to inherit the throne are Li Chengqian, the second prince, and the third prince.
Hearing this, the second prince instantly understood the meaning of this and his eyes widened.
"You're really crazy!"
What this sentence means is to kill all those who are qualified to inherit and compete for the throne.
In this case, Emperor Qing had no choice but to choose Li Chengqian.
This practice is indeed crazy.
"As for madness, I'm not half as crazy as you, not even as crazy as my aunt.
However, you keep provoking me, do you think I have a good temper?"
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Xia Zhu suddenly took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth in the blink of an eye.
Xie Bian is no exception.
For a moment, the two men curled up on the ground, sweating profusely, feeling worse than death.
You can't survive, you can't die.
Moreover, it is difficult to make a roaring sound.
The facial muscles are piled up together.
"Over the years, I have rarely left the palace, and even less often have met with you in private.
Today, you came uninvited. "
Then, Li Chengqian said:
“Since it is so rare, I will give my second brother a gift.
Over the years, you have teamed up with your aunt to engage in smuggling with Northern Qi, profit from it, and establish a private army.
I have been hiding these things from you.
Should you thank me?"
On the ground, the second prince was living a life worse than death.
Hearing this, I was even more shocked.
It was like a huge rock falling from the sky, causing huge waves.
The location of his private army has always been his biggest secret.
The cooperation with Li Yunrui is even more secret.
But who knows, in the eyes of the prince, all this is no secret.
"you……"
The second prince wanted to say something, but he was in excruciating pain.
I was horrified, but couldn't put it into words.
What he heard and saw today was a huge shock to him.
Moreover, Li Chengqian's ruthless methods also frightened him.
However, at this time, he had no time to think about it.
The pill enters the body and takes effect instantly.
The second prince only felt that there were countless ants in every inch of skin and every bone of his body, constantly gnawing at his flesh.
At this moment, his perception is comparable to that of a grandmaster.
However, a little bit of pain can be magnified a hundred times.
This kind of torture is worse than death.
As a prince, he had never experienced such things.
He fainted again and again, but was awakened by the pain.
