Zhu Qianyi and Luo Wuying suddenly changed their expressions. Even some of the congregants nearby changed their expressions when they heard this, and looked at each other for a moment.
Luo Wuying looked slightly cold and said calmly: "Little Marquis, everyone in the Black Lotus Sect is united, how can there be a traitor?"
"Everyone present is naturally of the same mind." Qi Ning sighed: "When it comes to life and death, I will not play tricks. As far as I know, the Black Lotus Sect has been established for decades. It is far away in the west and everyone in the world knows it. There are not many, and of course you don’t know too much about what happened in the Black Lotus Sect. But you are all the elites of the Black Lotus Sect. Ask yourselves, has the Black Lotus Sect really been monolithic for so many years?”
Today's situation is extremely dangerous. Qining knows that he is the turtle in the urn, and his life and death are no longer under his control.
His only way out is to make the impossible possible and convince the Black Lotus Sect to negotiate with the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Factions.
The eight gangs and sixteen factions commanded by the Shenhou Mansion are outside the palace. Of course, they don't know that Lord Jinyi accidentally entered the Black Stone Palace. Qining knows very well that once the news that he is in the enemy's hands is released, the Shenhou Mansion will never dare to sit back and watch. No matter what, he will definitely try his best to rescue himself, even if he has to compromise with the Black Lotus Sect.
After all, Jin Yihou is one of the four hereditary marquises of Da Chu. If the Shenhou Palace knew that the marquis was here, they would never dare to abandon him under the eyes of the powerful people.
All he wants now is that he can convince the Black Lotus Sect to try to negotiate with the Shenhou Mansion, and he doesn't even care that they take him as a hostage. As long as this is the case, he will most likely escape death.
Qi Ning naturally understands that it is not easy to convince this group of people, and there must be enough reasons to convince them.
Although he learned from Li Xigong's speculation that the Ximen Divine Marquis wanted to weaken the strength of the eight gangs and sixteen factions through this dispute, the epidemic in the capital had another mystery.
Qi Ning also felt that although Ximen Wuhen wanted to find an opportunity to provoke a dispute, he did not dare to cause such an unusual disaster in the capital. According to his judgment, there must be another group of people behind the scenes to deliberately cause a dispute in the capital. The waves happened to find opportunities and excuses for Ximen Wuhen.
The Black Lotus Sect has obviously been framed. Being able to involve the Black Lotus Sect, which has a great master, into the storm, of course cannot be done by just three or two people. There must be an extremely huge force behind it, Qining Keenly grasping this point, he not only wanted to use this to provoke the Black Lotus Sect's desire to negotiate, but he also thought that if he could get some clues from the Black Lotus Sect, he might not be able to uncover that force.
After a period of silence, Zhuo Qianyi finally said: "Who is the traitor you are talking about?" He asked like this, as if Ruo Ruo also had doubts.
Qi Ning felt a little relieved. He was afraid that the Black Lotus Sect would not bother him at all. Since he could ask questions, he coughed and said, "To be honest, if I knew who it was, I would not let this person go." A shameless person who eats everything inside and outside."
"You don't know who it is, so how dare you conclude that there is a traitor?" Zhu Qianyi looked grim.
Qining cupped his hands and said: "Two holy envoys, I wonder if you can lend me a moment to speak?"
"Your imperial court is so sneaky, there's no need to use it here." Zhuo Qianyi said angrily: "We are all Black Lotus brothers here. If you have anything to say, feel free to speak out."
Luo Wuying said: "Old Poison, since the young Marquis wants to talk in detail alone, there is a reason, so why should we bother the young Marquis." He raised his hand and said: "Little Marquis, please come this way!" He actually turned around and led the way. Qining thought that although Luo Wuying acted strangely, he seemed to know the basics, so he immediately followed him. Zhuqianyi snorted coldly and finally followed.
There is a room next to the hall with simple furnishings. After entering, Luo Wuying said: "Little Marquis, there are only three of us here. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Okay, Poison King asked me why I concluded that there was a traitor since I didn't know who the traitor was." Qi Ning said: "I can conclude based on just two points. Poison King, poisoning with mist is indeed clever. You are naturally familiar with poison." Know it like the back of your hand.”
Zhu Qianyi snorted coldly: "It took me several years to prepare this poison hidden in the mist. It was originally to prevent someone from invading Qianwu Ridge one day. Since the medicine was prepared by me, I naturally have a clear understanding of its properties. Chu." After a pause, he explained: "I named this poison Kirigakure. It is hidden in the mist and has no smell. It is extremely difficult to detect. Once breathed into the body, the poison will take effect within three hours. It’s hard to breathe, and there’s no inner strength.”
"How long will this medicine last?" Qining asked.
Zhu Qianyi said: "The medicinal properties will not disappear for three days and three nights."
"The Poison King's skill in using poisons is rare in the world. The poison prepared with painstaking efforts cannot be easily cracked."
Zhu Qianyi immediately said: "I know all about the famous poison masters in the world. There are only three people who can break this poison, but it will take them ten days and a half at the fastest to break it. In such a short time, it is absolutely impossible. "
"But in fact, all the members of the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Sects are safe and sound." Qi Ning sighed: "They are surrounding the outside of the palace. Doesn't the Poison King think it's strange?"
Swing Yi was originally very angry with Qi Ning, but at this time his anger had subsided a lot. He frowned and said: "I have been wondering about this. Is there a master of poisoning in the world that I don't know about? But even so, he noticed that the poison was poisonous. , can crack the poison immediately, but to prepare the antidote, a lot of drugs are needed. It takes a lot of time to search for these medicinal materials, and it also takes a long time to make the antidote. It is absolutely impossible to do it in this short time. Let all these people detoxify.”
Qi Ning nodded slightly and said: "So there is only one possibility, that is, someone has prepared the antidote a long time ago. After the eight gangs and sixteen factions were poisoned, although some were killed and injured, and you took many hostages, but after that they The antidote was quickly prepared."
Zhu Qianyi's brows furrowed even more tightly: "No one knew about the Kirigakure I refined before. How could they predict it?"
"They don't know, but the people of the Black Lotus Sect know." Qi Ning said: "Poison King, you people of the Black Lotus Sect have naturally taken the antidote long ago."
Zhu Qianyi shook his head and said: "The poison of Mist Hidden is scattered in the mist on the mountainside. There is no poison on Lotus Peak. Just in case, I didn't give out the antidote early. Luo Wuying went down the mountain to capture him." Ximen Wuhen’s daughter lived there, and we were determined to lure them up the mountain, and that’s when I distributed the antidote to everyone.”
"In this case, it is unlikely that the Black Lotus Cult would reveal the antidote in advance." Qining said: "Did the Poison King never distribute the antidote to anyone in advance?"
Zhu Qianyi glanced at Luo Wuying, who sneered: "Old poisoner, you don't suspect that I leaked the antidote, do you?"
Zhu Qianyi said: "I gave the antidote to a few people beforehand. These people are loyal to the Black Lotus Sect and will never have second thoughts."
Luo Wuying had already frowned and said: "Old poisonous creature, could it be...!" His eyes were full of ghosts, as cold as cold knives.
Zhu Qianyi also trembled and said: "He... he...!" But he did not continue.
Qi Ning naturally saw the clues and said, "Have you two guessed who the traitor is?"
"Absolutely impossible." Zhu Qianyi said resolutely: "He has been a religious man for decades, how could he... how could he betray us."
"Old Poison, don't forget that the incident back then seems to have changed, but some people may not let it go in their hearts." Luo Wuying sneered: "Except for my little... your apprentice, Duan Qingchen and I were the only ones who got the antidote in advance! "
Qi Ning secretly wondered who this piece of pure dust was
Zhu Qianyi clenched his hands into fists with a gloomy face. Luo Wuying continued: "You and I both know the terrain of Qianwu Ridge. It is absolutely impossible for the eight gangs and sixteen sects to be so familiar with the terrain and be able to go around the foot of the mountain and attack from the bottom of the mountain. Unless Someone gave them a topographic map of Qianwu Ridge and informed them of the entrance."
Shui Qianyi's body trembled slightly and said: "You mean, the traitor who leaked the antidote and informed the entrance was Duan Qingchen?"
"Duan Qingchen led his men to fight, and then he never returned, leaving no trace." Luo Wuying said coldly: "Where do you think he is now?"
Qi Ning vaguely understood something and asked: "Is this piece of pure dust the Taiyin protector of the Black Lotus Sect? Or is it a sex envoy?"
Luo Wuying said lightly: "He is the sex envoy among the four holy envoys, and his current whereabouts are unknown. Young Lord, your reminder has given us an enlightenment."
"If it is really him, I will take his life." Zhuqian Yi said angrily: "The traitorous dog thief will suffer from all kinds of poisons."
Qi Ning said: "Poison King, to be honest, your life is on the line. Even if you know who the traitor is now, it may not be of any help. Since your pervert dares to betray the religion, he naturally has to consider it in his heart. Well, knowing that your lives are at stake, he doesn’t have to worry about you seeking revenge on him.”
Zhu Qianyi looked at Qining coldly and said, "If I die here, you will be buried with me."
Qi Ning sighed: "My life is in your hands, there is nothing to say. It's just who stole the Poison King's golden silkworm poison, and who poisoned the capital to frame the Poison King, and then implicated the whole world." The Lotus Sect has caused this dispute, doesn’t the Poison King want to find out? The eight gangs and sixteen sects are fighting bloody battles with your Black Lotus Sect, and both sides are hurting. Who is going to put your Black Lotus Sect to death?”
Luo Wuying's expression became solemn and he said: "Little Marquis, you were not sent by them to negotiate, were you?" There was suspicion in his eyes: "How did you enter the temple?"
"The ghost's guess is good. The eight gangs and sixteen factions are not qualified to command me." Qi Ning said solemnly: "Actually, I have followed the emperor's order and came to investigate this case."
Luo Wuying and Zhu Qianyi looked at each other, both doubtful.
"The Emperor does not want to provoke turmoil among the Miao family because of this matter. The Black Lotus Sect has not set foot out of Xichuan for decades since its founding. The last time it went to the capital to poison, it is naturally unbelievable." Qi Ningxuan He said slowly: "Your Majesty is wise and has already guessed that there may be something fishy in this. However, there are people in the court who want to stir up chaos, and with the evidence, the Emperor cannot stop it."
The two holy envoys obviously believed it a little bit, and Zhu Qianyi said coldly: "Your emperor is not stupid at all."
"The emperor is worried that this incident is just the beginning." Qi Ning said sternly: "You two should know that the late emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. Both the government and the public are not that peaceful. The emperor is worried that there are people behind the scenes who are plotting and endangering the country and the country, so he secretly ordered When I came to Xichuan, I actually hope that I can find an opportunity to contact you and find out the truth of the matter."
Luo Wuying smiled lightly and said: "Your emperor is not worried about you being killed by us?"
"If you don't enter Tiger Mountain, you won't get tiger cubs." Qining said with a smile: "If we don't take risks, how can we contact you, and how can we find out the truth of the matter? Two holy envoys, Duan Qingchen apostatized and surrendered to the enemy, I I know how you feel. You have to clean up the family and find the real culprit behind the frame of the Black Lotus Sect. I also want to share the emperor's worries and find out the mastermind behind the conspiracy. So from a certain point of view, I and the two of you, We are friends, not enemies, at least we have a common opponent.”
Swing Yi let out a weird laugh and said: "Little Marquis, you are really eloquent, and you actually became friends with us with just a few words. You waste so much time talking, just because you want to survive. Don't treat us like three-year-old children." "
Qi Ning laughed and said: "Poison King, I just want to ask, I know that Black Stone Palace is your main altar, if it is not to cooperate with you, why do I take the risk to come here? I have had dissatisfaction with Poison King, knowing this, But if I want to meet you, wouldn’t I be seeking death?”
His words are the most important.
Of course, Zhuo Qianyi and Luo Wuying didn't know that Qining had entered the Black Stone Palace by mistake. At this time, listening to his words, they just felt that it made sense. After all, if the dignified Jin Yihou had not come here specially, no one would be able to tell him to take it lightly. Into dangerous places.
Qi Ning knew that these words had an effect and said with a smile: "Duan Qingchen has put you in a desperate situation. In fact, what you have to worry about most now is another thing."
"What's up?"
"You are in a desperate situation. If I were the leader of the Black Lotus, I would never sit idly by and ignore it." Qining sighed: "But the leader of the Black Lotus has not arrived yet. Don't you think there is something wrong with this?"
Zhu Qianyi asked: "What do you want to say?"
"Since Duan Qingchen is one of the Four Holy Envoys and is on an equal footing with the two, I don't think he is just an ordinary person." Qi Ning said: "The people he is most afraid of when he betrays his religion and surrenders to the enemy are probably not the two of them. The only person he is really afraid of is the black people. Lord Lotus, but he took the risk and still rebelled against the religion. Why? Not only did he predict that you would have no way to escape, I am afraid that even Lord Black Lotus was included in his calculations."
Both of them changed their expressions slightly, and Zhuo Qianyi said sharply: "You mean, Duan Qingchen plotted against the leader, and the leader also...!"
"This is just my guess." Qi Ning sighed deliberately, "If the Black Lotus Cult Master is not included, how could Duan Qingchen have such courage?" But in his heart, he was thinking that these two people didn't know the Black Lotus Cult Master at all. Both sides are harmed by the Bronze General, so they can take full advantage of this matter. "If the leader of the Black Lotus is alive, Duan Qingchen will not be able to live in peace even if he escapes to the ends of the earth."
The faces of both Black Lotus envoys turned cold. They looked at each other. After a while of silence, Zhu Qianyi finally looked into Qining's eyes and asked, "What do you want to do?"
