"Your Majesty wants to kill the snake. If the snake attacks forcefully, the entire army will be wiped out. You want to stop His Majesty and suggest to him to poison the snake." Xiao Huayong was very satisfied with Xiao Changgeng's obedience.
"Yes." Xiao Changgeng responded decisively.
Xiao Huayong turned his head and gently touched the wings of the Saker Falcon: "Why do I want to poison the snake?"
"Please tell me clearly, Seventh Brother." Xiao Changgeng was unwilling to guess, because no one could guess what Xiao Huayong was thinking.
"If you want a justifiable reason, it's that I am kindhearted and virtuous, and I can't bear to see innocent people sacrificed, and I can't bear to see good men who should be defending their country die." Xiao Huayong's lips slowly rose, "If you want a real reason, it's that I want Changling to die in the belly of the giant snake."
Xiao Changgeng suddenly raised his head and his pupils shrank slightly.
Changling had bullied him since childhood, and Xiao Changgeng also disliked Changling and even wanted to punish her, but he never thought of letting her die like this.
"You must be very curious, if a giant snake can bite Chang Ling to death, why should I let you poison it." Xiao Huayong ignored Xiao Chang Geng and continued, "This kind of giant snake has a skin that has become armor. Ordinary poisons may not be able to harm it. The poison that can really take its life is the poison on my hand."
Xiao Huayong did not want to expose himself, and was also worried that they would end up losing more than they gained. Not only would they fail to poison the giant snake to death, but they would drive it mad. There would surely be a bloody battle with countless casualties.
Every step was planned meticulously, without any flaws or mistakes.
While Xiao Changgeng was trembling with fear, Xiao Huayong's smile was tainted with a bit of evil: "The most important thing is that this poison is sealed in a wax pill and poured into Changling's body. Before she dies, she will feel pain all over her body as if thousands of arrows pierced her heart, but she can't die. This is the only way to vent my hatred."
Xiao Changgeng was frightened and took a few steps back again. His face turned pale and he spoke with difficulty: "Is it... because she hurt Princess Zhaoning?"
"Yeah." Xiao Huayong responded lazily, and then said casually, "Anyone in this world who sets his sights on her will end up like this."
At this moment, Xiao Changgeng understood why Xiao Huayong brought him to the East Palace and why he wanted him to see his true face.
It was a warning to him, warning him to be careful and not to set his mind on Princess Zhaoning.
His hands and feet seemed as heavy as if they were filled with lead, but he still stood up straight and clasped his hands to Xiao Huayong with difficulty, "Twelve Lang, thank you for your guidance, Seventh Brother."
Hearing this, Xiao Huayong turned around and asked, "What did I teach you?"
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Changgeng said, "Seventh Brother taught by example how to avoid getting involved and how to make others willing to work for you."
Xiao Huayong planned this matter, but no one would suspect him as he stayed out of it.
He would act according to Xiao Huayong's arrangements, not because he was afraid of Xiao Huayong, but because he could not resist the temptation given by Xiao Huayong.
Suggesting to His Majesty to poison the snake to kill it not only showed his intelligence in front of His Majesty, but also won the favor of all the guards.
Having the opportunity to stand out and win people's hearts in one fell swoop is what he desires most now.
"Smart." Xiao Huayong knew that it was fun to train someone personally and put it in public.
"I wonder if Twelve Brother can do anything for you, brother." Xiao Changgeng asked again.
