"Poison cup!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Tielong pointed at She Jingyan angrily, "Then hand over the antidote quickly."
"Hand it over? Haha—" She Jingyan paused, "Why should I give them the antidote first? Why don't you give me the antidote?"
"You still keep your mouth shut, believe it or not, I will kill you immediately!" Xiao Tielong pressed his sword, preparing to kill She Jingyan himself.
She Jingyan was not afraid at all: "Kill me! Anyway, I am also poisoned, but if they don't have my antidote, they will definitely die!"
Xiao Tielong sneered: "I can still get the antidote even if I kill you. You'd better take out the antidote obediently and don't force me to do it!"
This sentence seemed to remind She Jingyan. He suddenly took out a pill from his pocket and put it to his mouth instantly: "You, if you don't give me the antidote, I will take it first!"
Xiao Tielong was stunned, pointed at She Jingyan and shouted: "Don't be impulsive. If you have something to say, speak slowly. Don't be impulsive!"
"Give me the antidote quickly." She Jingyan roared angrily, looking at his posture, he would swallow the antidote at any time.
"Okay, okay, okay, don't worry, I will get you the antidote right now!" Xiao Tielong saw that She Jingyan was almost falling down, and was not afraid of his deception. He immediately waved his hand and the eunuch took an antidote. She Jingyan swallowed the antidote in one gulp.
At the same time, Xiao Tielong also snatched the pill from She Jingyan's hand: "Is this the antidote to the poisonous cup?"
She Jingyan nodded feebly: "That's right, Your Majesty, I won't lie to you. You can let her eat it. If it doesn't work, you can kill me!"
Xiao Tielong felt that what She Jingyan said was reasonable. He immediately handed the antidote to Xi Ruoxuan, when he suddenly saw Kuang Langyu also covering his stomach. Xiao Tielong immediately turned around and said to She Jing: "Take out another one."
She Jingyan shook his head: "Your Majesty, I only have one antidote on my body. There is really no second one."
"What, there is no second one, come here! Search for me." Xiao Tielong ordered.
Several soldiers came over to search them. She Jingyan took the initiative to empty the bags on his body and said, "Your Majesty, I really didn't bring two pills. If I wanted to harm them, I wouldn't take out even one."
Xiao Tielong was furious: "You only have one antidote and you dare to inject two poisons. What do you think you should do? Where is the antidote?"
She Jingyan thought for a while: "I still have a few more at home, why don't I go back and get them."
"Where is your home?"
"It's in the woods nearby."
Xiao Tielong nodded and immediately ordered two soldiers to take She Jingyan to get the antidote.
When She Jingyan walked away, Xiao Tielong turned back to look at Xiruoxuan, only to find that she was holding the antidote in her hand and refused to take it. Xiao Tielong was anxious: "Miss Xi, what do you mean? Why don't you take it? Do you suspect that this antidote is fake?"
Xi Ruoxuan shook his head: "I can't eat it, I want to give the antidote to the prince!"
Kuang Langyu was shocked when he heard this: "Xuanxuan, what nonsense are you talking about? This is the antidote given to you by the emperor. You should take it first. Then I will take the antidote when the guy comes back."
"No! My lord, you should eat it!"
"No, you still eat it!"
They were just giving in, and Xiao Tielong became anxious: "You two, why are you giving in like this? The second antidote will be here soon, and it won't be the same for any of you who take it!"
Xiruo
Before Xi Ruoxuan finished speaking, Kuang Langyu became anxious: "Who said you are an ordinary person? You are a princess, my princess, you must take the antidote."
"I won't eat, I just won't eat." Xiruoxuan suddenly became stubborn. At this time, Xiruoxuan suddenly felt that Kuang Langyu had become great. He even refused to take the antidote for me. Xi Ruoxuan was really moved, but the second antidote was coming soon, so why should we rush it.
"Otherwise, when the second antidote comes, we can take it together." Xi Ruoxuan suggested.
Xiao Tielong really couldn't understand these two people. The antidote was right in front of him. It made no difference who came first and who came last. They would rather hold their stomachs and feel uncomfortable than take the antidote. It was really hard to understand.
Strangely enough, the two of them felt uncomfortable for a while, but they were fine. Xi Ruoxuan looked at Kuang Langyu: "How are you? Does it no longer hurt?"
Kuang Langyu nodded: "Yes! It's strange, why it doesn't hurt all of a sudden."
Xiao Tielong also found it unbelievable. Could it be that the young master was trying to frame us
"Since you are fine, don't take this antidote first. If that guy really didn't poison you, you won't be eating it in vain."
Xi Ruoxuan nodded: "Your Majesty, the civilian girl is fine, you should go and deal with your affairs!"
When Xiao Tielong saw that Xi Ruoxuan was fine, he started to do his own thing. He immediately issued an order to imprison these poisoned generals in dungeons. It was unimaginable that these generals were already poisoned and had to be dragged into dungeons. The misery was unimaginable.
It was already midnight after Xiao Tielong finished handling the matter. He dismissed the other ministers and went back to his house to sleep. Xiruoxuan and Kuang Langyu also went back to their rooms to rest.
Xiao Tielong had an uneasy sleep this time. He had too many things to worry about. Xiao Zhi was arrested by me. Will those among him surrender to me? There is also the army outside the city. How can we defeat it? These many questions tortured Xiao Tielong until he stayed up all night, and finally fell asleep. A guard woke him up again.
"Your Majesty, urgent documents from the east gate."
Xiao Tielong was stunned after reading the emergency document. The letter was written by the lieutenant who stayed in the east of the city. It probably said that Xiao Zhi's old troops had quit their jobs after hearing that their master had been arrested, and some even wanted to go out of the city to surrender to Xiao Yong.
When Xiao Tielong saw that the situation was not good, he immediately summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures. Xi Ruoxuan and Kuang Langyu also arrived after hearing the news. Xiao Tielong and the ministers discussed for a while, and decided that the emperor would personally take a few generals and guards to Dongcheng to do some ideological work for those soldiers, hoping that they could rein in the precipice and return to orthodoxy.
Xiao Tielong ordered several guards with high martial arts skills to accompany him. Xi Ruoxuan also volunteered and said, "Your Majesty, the civilian girls will also go."
Xiao Tielong really hoped that Xi Ruoxuan would follow him. After all, with her by his side, he felt confident. Kuang Langyu also came to join in the fun: "Xuanxuan, I'm going too."
Xi Ruoxuan didn't stop him and followed Xiao Tielong towards the east gate. In a blink of an eye, the east gate was there.
At this time, the east gate was in chaos. The deputy general and Yang Xibiao kept doing ideological work in order to stabilize the morale of the army. If the siege outside the city had not stopped at this time, it would have been difficult to hold the city gate.
The deputy general was overjoyed when he saw Xiao Tielong coming: "Your Majesty, you are finally here. These generals and soldiers are no longer willing to defend the city. They asked the Emperor to release His Highness first, otherwise they will not do it."
Xiao Tielong had known this result for a long time. He stood on the tower and waved his hand: "Generals and soldiers, His Highness Xiao Zhimou has been arrested by me. You are Yunyan's soldiers and you should be loyal to me. Why? I can get along with His Highness the Second Highness!"
However, the soldiers ignored this and continued to shout: "Your Majesty, please let His Highness go. Let His Highness go."
Xiao Tielong shouted: "You are committing a crime by doing this. I order you to return to the tower immediately, otherwise I will arrest you immediately!"
However, the soldiers ignored this at all and still raised their swords and guns: "Your Majesty, please let His Highness go. Your Highness is not guilty!"
Xiao Tielong was so angry that he was about to shout that he should arrest all these soldiers. Xi Ruoxuan saw that something was wrong with the situation. There were quite a lot of these soldiers. If they mutinied, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Your Majesty, can you let the daughter of the people say a few words?" Xiruoxuan whispered to Xiao Tielong.
Xiao Tielong was panicking at this time and didn't know how to deal with such a crisis. Since Xiruoxuan has an idea, let her solve it!
"Okay! Just tell me!"
Xiruo We still have to do our best to defend the city tower, otherwise if the city is destroyed, His Highness will also be killed."
"Why should we believe you? We must see His Highness, otherwise we will stop!" Those soldiers were still unwilling to give up.
"Okay! Don't argue for now. I'll go and invite His Highness the Second Highness." After Xiruoxuan finished speaking, he turned back to Xiao Tielong and said, "Please give your golden medal arrow to the daughter of the people."
Xiao Tielong hesitated: "Girl, if you really want to release Xiao Zhi, you are not afraid..." Xiao Tielong's worry is not unfounded. If Xiao Zhi gets here, he will undoubtedly let the tiger go back to the mountain. If he turns around and bites him, the consequences will be disastrous. .
"Your Majesty, don't worry, women of the people have their own ways." Xi Ruoxuan gave Xiao Tielong a firm look. Xiao Tielong agreed because he trusted Xiruoxuan very much. Another reason was that Xiao Tielong was already at the end of his rope at this time and he really had no way to deal with this situation.
Xi Ruoxuan took the command arrow and raised it high: "Now that the emperor has ordered me to release His Highness the Second, I will go to the dungeon to save people. But the tower is empty. Are you just going to watch the tower collapse?"
A deputy general under Xiao Zhi stood up and said: "As long as the girl goes to invite our Second Highness, we will never let the tower fall."
"Okay! I will go and invite His Highness the Second Highness now. You can also go up to the tower!"
The lieutenant general waved his hand: "Brothers, let's trust this girl for now. Let's go defend the city first. If we don't see His Highness after an hour, we won't do it!"
"Okay!" the soldiers shouted and rushed up to the tower. Xiao Tielong, accompanied by several generals and the deputy general, waited for Xi Ruoxuan's arrival. At this time, Xiao Tielong's heart was uneasy. Xiruoxuan, did she really want to bring Xiao Zhi here? Will he switch sides after Xiao Zhi arrives? These troubles have always surrounded Xiao Tielong.
Let's talk about Xi Ruoxuan. When she came to the dungeon of the government office, the guards saw that she had the emperor's gold medal arrow and did not dare to stop her. Xi Ruoxuan walked into the dungeon smoothly. Xiao Zhi is currently tied to a pillar, and he has not been tortured yet. Xi Ruoxuan looked at Xiao Zhi: "Do you know who I am?"
Xiao Zhi shook his head: "I don't know."
"Okay! Then let me tell you, I am the emperor's adopted daughter, your sister."
Xiao Zhi looked at Xi Ruoxuan: "Then what are you going to do?"
"I'm not doing anything, I just came to see you and bring you something to eat."
Xiao Zhi hadn't had breakfast since he got up the next day, and he was already hungry. Xi Ruoxuan waved his hand, and several guards actually brought him breakfast. The guards untied Xiao Zhi to make it easier for him to eat. Xiao Zhi was so hungry that he completely destroyed the breakfast that was brought in.
The guards were about to tie up Xiao Zhi again, but Xi Ruoxuan waved his hand: "No need, the Emperor has a decree to send the Second Highness to the East City immediately."
"Going to Dongcheng? Why should I go to Dongcheng?" Xiao Zhizhi didn't know what Xi Ruoxuan wanted to do.
