Chapter 466 Strange Poisons
There was moderate rain in Lin’an on the 10th day of August.
The dense drizzle fell all over the city, and the scenery of the whole West Lake beca more and more charming.
The lonely boat on the West Lake was still floating aimlessly.
The person on the boat was still fishing.
This picture seed to have beco a part of the West Lake. Day and night, it seed to be an eternal scenery.
The one who watched the scenery was still enjoying the scenery.
The scenery was refreshing.
He was not tired of enjoying it.
The private room above Mingyue Tower was still quiet and exquisite. He sat in front of the window with a pale face and looked out of the window, as silent as a statue.
The lonely boat in the middle of the lake was far and near, near and far.
Ti passed slowly.
The sky was still gloomy, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
He silently watched the lonely boat on the lake drifting along with the wind. The misty scenery of the whole West Lake seed to be leaving him.
All he could see was the dark night on the lonely boat.
The night was like a curtain, deep and obscure.
There was a glimr of light in the almost extre darkness.
It was like the first ray of light that illuminated the world at dawn.
His pupils contracted slightly. He narrowed his eyes and laughed.
The whole exquisite private room seed to have rged with him. As his chuckles spread, the whole room beca extrely cold and empty.
The phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone on the table casually and took a look at it. Then he answered the phone.
An embarrassed face appeared on the screen of the mobile phone, with a little anger that couldn’t be concealed.
He looked down at the phone screen and did not speak.
The man on the other end of the line said in a hoarse voice, “Your Majesty.”
He seed to be a little embarrassed. “I didn’t find Jiang Qiansong.”
At the other end of the line, it was llad, the vice commander of the Holy Disarmant Corps of the Vatican, who was also His Majesty’s first follower.
His Majesty looked at him quietly and asked, “Reason?”
“I was kept at bay by the Master of Samsara Palace for a while. When I arrived at the address that Your Majesty gave , they should have entered the secret base of the Jiang family of South Arica. I looked around for a few days but didn’t find the right opportunity.”
The follower was ashad.
He knew very well what an important position Jiang Qiansong had in His Majesty’s plan.
He was the second-in-command of the Holy Disarmant Corps of the Vatican, and he also followed Holy Virgin Angel to Recchi City. Jiang Qiansong almost ran away under his nose, but he failed to stop him, which directly destroyed an important pawn of His Majesty.
The follower lowered his head and said in a deep voice, “I am incompetent.”
His Majesty nodded.
He asked, “Are you sure you t the Master of Samsara Palace?”
The disciple hesitated slightly. Before he could speak, His Majesty had already said blandly, “Don’t think about it. If it had been the real Master of Samsara Palace, you would have had no chance to stand here and talk to .”
The follower repeated, “I am incompetent.”
His Majesty was silent for a while. He looked at the lonely boat in the distance. After a long ti, he said calmly, “It doesn’t matter. Since you can’t get the chips of the Jiang family of South Arica, your task in the Vatican will be heavier. I will try my best to create an opportunity for you to control the Holy Disarmant Corps. Wait for my news.”
“To take control of the Holy Disarmant Corps?”
The follower froze. “What about Aresis?”
He was the second-in-command of the Holy Disarmant Corps.
And Aresis was the commander of the Holy Disarmant Corps.
Among the few superiors at the peak of the Invincible Realm in the Dark World, Aresis in his normal state was not very powerful, but after the coronation, Aresis was almost as mighty as anyone.
He could be said to be the biggest deterrent force of the Vatican in Eastern Europe. As long as he was there, the follower could only be the second-in-command.
“No big deal.”
His Majesty’s tone was a little cold. “If he’s dead, you’ll naturally beco the new commander of the Holy Disarmant Corps.”
The follower looked at His Majesty on the phone screen, and there was a flash of excitent in his eyes.
“Put the affair of the Jiang family of South Arica on the back burner. Next, keep a close watch on Angel.”
After saying that, His Majesty hung up the phone.
There was a knock on the door almost at the sa ti as he hung up the phone.
A figure pushed the door open and walked in, steady and calm.
“Secretary Wang, take a seat.”
His Majesty smiled and extended his hand to invite Wang Qinglei, who was still staying in Lin’an, to sit down. He asked, “How many days are left before the eting is over?”
Wang Qinglei had been attending the eye-catching Southeast eting in Lin’an in recent days.
Not long after the end of Youzhou Conference, under the proposal of Wang Qinglei, the high-level leaders of Wuyue, Jianghuai, Jiangzhe, and Minnan Provinces t again and again, and finally decided to establish the economic circle of the four provinces, which was the Southeast eting held in Lin’an today.
There was no doubt that this was the dissatisfaction of the Southeast Group about the Li family’s coback after the Youzhou Conference. Once the economic circle of the four provinces was established, the relationship between the four provinces would be closer. At that ti, all the pressure would fall on the Li family who had just gained a foothold in Jiangzhe.
Wang Qinglei poured himself a cup of tea and said casually, “It will be over tomorrow.”
His Majesty replied with a “Hmm” and seed to be deep in thought.
“What can I do for you?”
Wang Qinglei said directly, “Our identities are special. If there are no special circumstances, I think it’s better for us to et each other less, especially in such a sensitive situation.”
“Of course.”
His Majesty chuckled and said, “You and I have been friends for nearly ten years, so you should know well. If it’s not important, I won’t et you rashly.”
Wang Qinglei twitched the corner of his mouth into a smile.
His Majesty took out a large but ancient file pocket from his side.
He handed the file pocket to Wang Qinglei and whispered, “I hope this thing can appear in front of Xuan Ming as soon as possible.”
“What does this an?”
Wang Qinglei subconsciously frowned.
He knew this thing. If he guessed correctly, it should be an X-ray of so years.
Wang Qinglei didn’t know what it ant to show up in front of the person in charge of the intelligence departnt of the Wang family of Beihai.
His Majesty said with a smile, “Eastern Europe is in a deadlock again now. I think His Majesty the Sword Emperor is also in a dilemma. But the deadlock is not good for everyone. It may be able to help the Sword Emperor make up his mind.”
Wang Qinglei took the X-ray in his hand and looked up. “Can I have a look at it?”
“Please.”
His Majesty’s tone was calm.
Wang Qinglei took out the X-ray and looked at it for a long ti.
The light in the room was a little dim, and he didn’t know Martial Arts, let alone dicine, so he couldn’t see what this X-ray ant.
Wang Qinglei looked at His Majesty and said, “I don’t understand.”
His Majesty said calmly, “You don’t have to understand. Wang Tianzong will understand.”
Wang Qinglei took a deep look at him, put the X-ray back into the pocket, and said slowly, “You have been paying attention to Eastern Europe but don’t go there. If your plan can be implented, what will the result of the chaos in Eastern Europe be?”
There was dead silence in the private room.
His Majesty did not seem to know how to answer him.
It took a long ti before he calmly said, “It’s too big a question.”
“What will happen to Tianzong?” Wang Qinglei asked the question he was most concerned about.
His Majesty gave him a strange look, thought for a mont, and said, “It depends on the final result. If Li Tianlan dies, he dies. If Li Tianlan is alive, he must live.”
Wang Qinglei looked at His Majesty quietly, waiting for his explanation.
“Li Tianlan is very strong. If he eventually grows up, I can’t think of any other people who can balance him except Wang Tianzong. But I can get my priorities straight. At least in the chaos of Eastern Europe, my primary target is Qin Weibai. Only when she is dead can I do things freely. After Qin Weibai’s death, it’s Li Tianlan’s turn. If Li Tianlan dies, it’s the best thing. But if he can survive, I can only put the matter on the back burner. If Li Tianlan is alive, his rise will be unstoppable, so Wang Tianzong must be alive.”
Wang Qinglei narrowed his eyes and digested the information that His Majesty had told him. “If Li Tianlan grows up, aren’t you even a match for him?”
“No.”
His Majesty calmly said, “My state is similar to his, but they’re completely different. However, he walks faster than I do. In the end, I’m hardly a match for him.”
Wang Qinglei asked, “What about Tianzong?”
“He will make a breakthrough. At present, the chaos in Eastern Europe is the only opportunity for him to break through. However, even if he breaks through, he is not absolutely invincible. At least the Samsara Palace has the power to balance him, so the best result should be the death of Qin Weibai, Li Tianlan, and Wang Tianzong. If this becos a reality, the whole world will be our domain.”
“Qin Weibai is indeed very important.”
Wang Qinglei nodded thoughtfully. “But I rember you once said that you haven’t won the gas with her.”
“That’s not the key point.”
His Majesty said lightly, “Life is like a chess ga, but it is not a real chess ga. Temporary victories are not important. What is important is that I’ll win the most crucial ga. She is in the light, but I am in the dark. I almost know all her chess pieces, but she doesn’t know who I am. I can even push Wang Tianzong to break the deadlock in Eastern Europe. Qin Weibai wants to win? How?”
Wang Qinglei didn’t speak but just slowly tapped his finger on the file pocket containing the X-ray.
“Secretary Wang, please.”
His Majesty turned and looked at him, his voice sincere.
Wang Qinglei smiled. “Before tonight, this thing will appear in front of Xuan Ming, and before tomorrow morning, it will reach Eastern Europe.”
He stood up with the file pocket.
“Good.”
His Majesty nodded and raised the teacup in front of him.
Wang Qinglei glanced at him and left the private room calmly.
His Majesty quietly sipped the tea and looked at the lake in the distance.
On the distant lake, the lonely boat drifted over gradually, carrying dark and pure sword intent.
The rays of light in the darkness had begun to disappear and beco dormant again.
His Majesty looked down at his watch.
It was almost noon.
He picked up the nu and started ordering.
The lunch was not simple and was as hearty as a banquet. The entire kitchen of Mingyue Tower started to beco busy with His Majesty’s order.
His Majesty took out a high-grade Shaoxing wine from the corner and prepared two wine glasses. After everything was done, he looked at his watch again.
There was a knock at the door.
The person outside the door did not push the door open but waited quietly.
His Majesty smiled, stood up, and opened the door.
An old man, neatly dressed but already a little bent, stood outside the door of the private room. There was sothing strange in his eyes as he looked at His Majesty’s face.
His Majesty shot him a glance and chuckled. “I feel honored by your presence, Senior Li.”
Only one person in the entire Dark World was worthy of being called by His Majesty like this.
Li Honghe.
“I’m flattered.”
Li Honghe shook his head and walked into the private room.
The kitchen had started serving dishes.
All the delicacies were served one after another.
His Majesty opened the bottle of high-grade Shaoxing wine.
The fragrance of the wine pervaded the room.
Li Honghe watched His Majesty, who was very active, quietly and suddenly said, “I don’t know you. Who are you? What did you ask to do here?
The three questions were straightforward.
His Majesty smiled.
Outside the window, a gloomy light ca in and shone on his face, and a sowhat stiff but extrely ordinary face revealed itself.
“I have admired you for a long ti, Senior Li. I’d like to drink a toast to you.”
His Majesty’s voice was calm, and he raised his glass.
Li Honghe looked down at the wine in the glass and drank it in one fell swoop.
His Majesty did not hesitate to drink all the wine in the glass and looked at Li Honghe.
His smile was broad, but his eyes were a little cold.
“Good wine.”
Li Honghe put down the glass and poured himself another glass of wine.
His Majesty chuckled and said, “The wine with Glazed Stars and Blue Flowers in it is of course good.”
There were many kinds of poisons in this world.
So poisons were mild.
So were highly toxic.
And Glazed Stars and Blue Flowers had completely been out of the category of highly toxic poisons and were truly unable to detoxicate.
The combination of the two could easily poison anyone to death.
Li Honghe glanced at him.
“Scared?”
His Majesty’s eyes were cold.
Li Honghe said quietly, “I had a brother. His na is Yu Donglai.”
“I know, the famous Poison Physician. But he is not with you. How can he save you?”
His Majesty sneered.
“Don’t get wrong. The Poison Physician is my brother, and I naturally have the eyesight to distinguish poisons. I wouldn’t have drunk the wine if it had been poisoned. And how precious are Glazed Stars and Blue Flowers? They are legendary things. How can you waste them on a man like who is no longer in the Invincible Realm?”
His expression was calm, without the slightest difference.
His Majesty looked at Li Honghe coldly.
After a long ti, he suddenly laughed and said, “Glazed Stars and Blue Flowers are indeed legendary things. You’re really well-inford, Senior Li. I haven’t even seen these things, not to ntion to kill you with them.”
Li Honghe’s face remained unchanged, as quiet as water.
His Majesty said suddenly, “I wonder if you can show the legendary poisons, Senior Li?”
Li Honghe said, “I haven’t heard of Glazed Stars and Blue Flowers in recent years. I’m afraid they’re already extinct. Where do I get them? I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you.”
“No, I’m not disappointed.”
His Majesty smiled and said, “No matter how highly-toxic Glazed Stars and Blue Flowers are, they’re dead things after all. But I heard that the Li family once raised a bird. I have made an appointnt with you today for the sake of that bird.”
Li Honghe said expressionlessly, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“The Glazed Star is extrely hot and generally lives in a volcanic environnt, which is called the peerless fire poison.
“The Blue Flower is extrely cold, generally cos from the glacier, and is the poison of cold.
“I heard that the Li family had collected two kinds of strange poisons for the Poison Physician. In order to fuse them together, you used countless resources to cultivate a bird with a special biological structure. That bird is nad linnet, and it can perfectly combine the poison of heat and the poison of cold.”
His Majesty looked at Li Honghe softly. “Senior Li, what I want is that bird.”
Li Honghe lowered his head, ate the food, and said lightly, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“Why are you so an? I want that bird, but not for nothing. I’m sure the pay will satisfy you as well.”
His Majesty smiled sincerely.
“Oh?”
Li Honghe glanced at him.
“What can you give ?”
There was a twinkle in His Majesty’s eyes, and he said, “I can...”
“Swish!”
He had just opened his mouth, and the mont the voice ca, Li Honghe raised his hand abruptly.
The good wine in the glass rose up in the air, as sharp as a sword.
Li Honghe jumped at the mysterious Majesty without hesitation and grabbed his face with one hand.
