Chapter 885: Chapter 885: Heroes in Their Twilight! Ti Poison! Chapter 885: Chapter 885: Heroes in Their Twilight! Ti Poison! Taking advantage of the mont when the ladies were talking to Lu Yuwei, Ye Fan and Han Youyue walked out of the boudoir into the small courtyard outside for a stroll, chatting as they walked.
“What’s the news about the map from Fifth Young Master Ye?”
This return to the Northwest, besides annihilating the Eight Great Families, the most urgent matter was indeed this.
Regarding this matter, Han Youyue clearly had the most authority to speak.
“We have so clues already, but the situation is a bit tricky.”
When ntioning this, Han Youyue’s expression turned solemn, she glanced around, and then nodded before continuing, “Because all the clues point towards… the Red Tiger Domain! When Fifth Young Master Ye was attacked, it was said to be the work of a powerhouse from the Red Tiger Domain, but so far, the information has been tightly sealed…”
“Oh!” Ye Fan raised his eyebrows, a trace of murderous intent quietly flashed in the depths of his eyes. No doubt, there would definitely be people placed by Prince Jin and the Emperor in the Red Tiger Domain.
For instance, Division Commander Wang Ping last ti, was manipulated and deceived by people like Xie Fei, Elder Zhou, arranged by the Emperor, trying to seize the Elixir Pills from Gu Changsheng, and ultimately t a tragic death.
But the Emperor’s n can’t exactly be called spies, and Prince Jin’s people can only be regarded as traitors.
The true spies would only be those belonging to external forces not from Great Xia.
If such entities indeed took action against Fifth Young Master Ye, taking away his Heavenly Palace Fragnts, once their background details are investigated, Ye Fan might truly unleash a slaughter in anger this ti.
“Perfect timing, Gu Changsheng has been out of touch since last ti, and whether that Elixir Pill has resolved Gu Tang’s issues yet.”
After a slight ponder, Ye Fan imdiately made a decision, “It’s also ti to make a trip to the Red Tiger Domain.”
As soon as his words fell, footsteps were suddenly heard from outside the courtyard, “Is Young Master Ye here? Chiliarch Zhang Dong from the Red Tiger Domain requests an audience…”
Such a coincidence?
Ye Fan raised his eyebrows and turned to walk towards the courtyard gate.
At the entrance of the courtyard, three n dressed in military attire stood respectfully.
The person in the lead had the chest badge of the Chiliarch from the Red Tiger Domain; this person must be the previously ntioned Zhang Dong.
And the two behind him were his subordinates, accompanying him.
“Greetings, Young Master Ye!”
Upon seeing Ye Fan, Zhang Dong’s expression beca serious, and he imdiately offered a grand salute.
After Ye Fan waved his hand, he and his two subordinates stood up together.
“Your subordinate is here by the order of the Young Commander, coming to An City to seek Young Master Ye’s help.”
“I hope Young Master Ye can spare so ti to make a trip to the Red Tiger Domain, Commander Gu is almost not making it…”
Commander Gu?
That would be Gu Tang, the commander of the Red Tiger Domain.
Why is he almost not making it? Wasn’t the Elixir from winning first place in the martial competition already taken back by Gu Changsheng?
Ye Fan furrowed his brows, already sensing that the situation was not simple.
Given that Eighth-Grade Elixir, resolving Gu Tang’s issue should not be problematic; there should be a ninety percent chance. Even if it couldn’t completely cure Gu Tang’s injury, at least it should maintain the current status!
But how long has it been? He is already almost not making it?
If the facts are indeed so, a major incident must have occurred!
Ye Fan imdiately went to the front yard, found Lu Zhongting and Wei Zhengyang, Lu Xue among others, and gave so instructions.
Then, he called on Guo Li, Yu Qiang, Songyang, Wang Fugui, and other high-ranking officials of the Mortal Alliance, gathering dozens of core mbers of the Mortal Alliance, preparing to set off.
However, just before they were about to leave, the ladies in the backyard heard the news and insisted on accompanying to take care of Ye Fan’s daily needs!
Eventually, after discussions, Ye Fan decided to bring Yamada Eiko, Qiu Wan, Ren Xueying, and Qing Ruolan with him.
As for Lu Yuwei, with the aftermath matters at An City Lu Family being rather tedious, she stayed with the Lu Family.
And Han Youyue, as the intelligence queen of Tianji Pavilion, was always enigmatic, having already disappeared into the shadows, whereabouts unknown…
…
Red Tiger Domain.
Red Tiger Army Camp.
The tent was strictly guarded outside, with two layers of fixed posts and patrols within and beyond three Zhang and ten Zhang, all managed exclusively by the Red Tiger Guards under Commander Gu Tang’s command.
These were all arranged by Gu Changsheng, with six hundred Red Tiger Guards taking turns guarding day and night.
The reason for such serious asures even within the Red Tiger Army Camp was because Gu Changsheng had been frightened during a previous incident.
Even Wang Ping, a Chiliarch who had followed Gu Tang for many years, could be turned against him, let alone others?
Inside the tent.
Gu Changsheng’s brows were deeply furrowed as he sat alone in front of the cot, lost in thought.
And Gu Tang, who lay on the cot, no longer possessed the fierce and commanding presence he once had when leading the Red Tiger Army.
Now, he couldn’t even be described as a sunset over the West Mountain or a hero in his twilight years.
Previously, the royal family had described him as an old tiger without teeth due to his serious internal injuries.
Now, Gu Tang could only be considered an old, frail man in his twilight years, likely to die at any mont, not only thin and emaciated but even his black hair had turned white, resembling an old man in his late seventies or eighties.
“Changsheng, your father is not going to make it much longer…”
Gently waving his hand, calling Gu Changsheng closer, Gu Tang managed a faint smile and weakly began to make arrangents for the future, “This poison is constantly eroding my bodily functions, accelerating aging.”
“Its effect is like ti rapidly passing in my body, aptly nad the Ti Poison.”
“This substance is unheard of, not easily obtained by ordinary people, it must be either the royal family or Prince Jin acting, you… can’t fight them.”
“After I pass, you must grieve yet cherish life, if the royal family pressures too much, even if you have to hand over the military power of the Red Tiger Domain, you must find a way to ensure the safety of my old comrades…”
“Father, don’t say that, you won’t have any trouble.”
Gu Changsheng, with reddened eyes, couldn’t help but interrupt, “You still rember Young Master Ye, right? The Elixir Pills he brought back last ti, it was with his help, including the arrangents here in the Red Tiger Domain, he must have sent soone to help in secret.”
“I just received news not long ago, Ye Fan is not dead, he has returned to An City.”
“I have sent people to An City to invite him, with his dical skills, removing the Ti Poison from father’s body is definitely not a difficult task…”
Before he could finish, Gu Tang bitterly smiled and waved his hand again, “It’s useless, it’s too late…”
“But it’s good news that Young Master Ye is alive, perhaps there is another way out for you in the future!”
“At the very least, for you and those old comrades who have followed for many years, there is now a place to go, if the royal family is too oppressive, take them… and seek refuge with Ye Fan in the Tianlong Domain.”
It seems that he can no longer hold on for even a mont, and he has even lost the will to survive.
Gu Changsheng was scratching his head and ears, the typically well-mannered scholar was so anxious he wanted to curse…
Just as he was at a loss and burning with anxiety, suddenly a voice ca from outside the tent, “Young Commander, Zhang Dong has accomplished his mission and has brought Young Master Ye.”
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s face lit up with ecstasy, he stood up excitedly, “Quickly, please invite him in…”
Just as he welcod them at the entrance of the tent, two people had already entered from outside, since Zhang Dong brought them and Gu Changsheng had already given the order, the Red Tiger Guards outside did not stop them.
The only ones entering the tent were Ye Fan and Guo Li.
Others such as Yu Qiang, Wang Fugui, Yamada Eiko, Qiu Wan, and several dozen key mbers of the Mortal Alliance, were all left outside.
“Young Master Ye, you finally ca.”
Seeing Ye Fan, Gu Changsheng’s eyes were moist with emotion, his voice sowhat choked, “My father has been poisoned with Ti Poison and he is near the end.”
Ye Fan waved his hand and looked toward the cot inside, his expression slightly changed, “How could this happen?”
Originally, the Elixir Pills earned from the martial contest that day were brought back to the Red Tiger Domain and taken by Gu Tang, indeed healing most of his internal injuries!
However, the good tis did not last long, just a few days later, Gu Tang was poisoned with the Ti Poison again, worsening by the day, yet the poisoner has not yet been caught.
Not even how the poison was administered has any clues…
“Ti Poison?”
Ye Fan raised his eyebrows and imdiately walked over to the cot.
After examining for a while, he nodded slowly, “This poison erodes the muscular and organ functions of a person, accelerating aging, indeed it can be called Ti Poison.”
“However, as domineering as this poison is, it is not without a solution, at least I have a way to remove it.”
“But since Commander Gu has been deeply poisoned, this poison has spread throughout his limbs and organs, even for , it will take a significant amount of ti to remove, at least two hours…”
